  • Comments: My only two complaints about the race would be the timing chip and the water stations. The timing chip design will hopefully be a bit more secure next year. The water stations were there, well stocked, but I did feel quite a few times that there should have been more of them, for sure. Another thing-the brochure said the port-a-potties would be available each mile, and they weren't. Not a huge deal, because I only ended up using it once, but still...

  • Comments: Volunteers and race supporters were EVERYWHERE on the course, it was awesome! Just when I started to get down on myself, someone was out there cheering. Doesn't get better than that.

  • Comments: Excellent first year race. 1. Water bottles at water stop? Terrible, please be more aware of green efforts. 2. Finishing area completely blocked for spectators on one side of stands.

  • Comments: I didn't give this race a 5 only because it was the inaugural running and there were a few logistical issues they still need to work out. Overall though, the race was very well run, it's a scenic course, had good crowd support, and will no doubt be a top notch race when they get a few more things worked out. I would definitely recommend it.
