  • Organised?No
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?No
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities?
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: This race is WAY WAY over crowded. They need to: 1) Open the course up wider Especially the first mile till things thin out. 2) Seperate the start times for the timed, and untimed 5k, or better yet have a corral near the front for those who have completed a 5k in under an hour in the past year. 3) Provide a "stroller division" and seperate start time for those pushing or accompaning a stroller. Nothing against the strollers, but there are a lot of them and they are very easy to trip over in the crowd. Plus I think having a prize for the fastest stroller kid could be fun.

  • Comments: Good Race...perfect for a Thanksgiving day. They even had pre-race breakfast burritos! The only complain I have is that they changed the distance after-the fact and it is now a 3 mile course instead of a 5K.
