  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This is a well-organized, medium-sized, but bare-bones race on a challenging course. No swag (advertising and a packet of fajita seasoning), modest post-race food (water, bagels, oranges, bananas), one deep awards, BUT, it's a certified course, with honest mile markers, plenty of portacans, 8 aid stations, and lots of volunteers. All the profits go to their local charities and I'm cool with that. It gets the "dash" name because they run a 5K at the same time. This race has really grown and the competition is increasing. In 2010 my 1:36 was 32nd of 750; this year my 1:35 was 59th and was won with a 1:10. As a bonus this year, they did have really nice race shirts that were designed by a local, famous artist, Benjamin Knox. Awesome graphic and quality material, too.
