• Comments: having never participated before, wasn't sure what to expect...but having done a 5K in October, I was looking forward to a water station and the only one we saw, was completely out before we got there. LOTS OF PEOPLE! Need to get creative with a costume idea for next year!

• Comments: The Manchester Road Race is an amazing event and one that everyone should have the experience to be a part of at some point. This year, the whole shuttle bus thing just really broke down and the shear number of participants made it really difficult to run your race, but it was fun to be part of it. I've run this race 4 times. 2003 50:42, 2004 53:06, 2005 43:09, 2008 42:50--so a PR for me this year in this race. It think they should break up the chute a bit more and actually rope off the sections or maybe have a second seeding for people that run 40-48--or something...
