  • Comments: Atmosphere was great. The volunteers were outstanding: supportive and friendly despite the throng of runner/walkers packing the roads. This was my second 'A' goal of my 'comeback', and I'm glad I did it. I'll do better next year!

  • Comments: The "free beer" is gone by the time joggers like me get to the Finish Area. Keeping in mind that I was about 3800 out of 12000, there's no excuse for that. The Finish Line area is always jammed and bottlenecked, which results in runners having to stand still (completely) for several minutes after running the Hart Bridge. This is not so smart.

  • Comments: Awesome swag. For such a cheap ($25) race, I got a shirt, cup, hat, mouse pad, and a bunch of other little things. The expo was just the right size, and parking was excellent. Bathroom lines weren't too bad either. Since this was the 32nd time of this event, the experience definitely showed. These people know how to put on this event. Loved it.

  • Comments: End of race was terrible. There were only enough hats for about 2000 finishers. Water was provided at the end, but you had to hike to get to any food. Not a good post race wrap up. I did not go to the post race event.

  • Comments: I'm very proud of how I did in this race. My time was, by far, nowhere near what it would have been had I been healthy for it, but I still averaged sub-9's for the race, so Im happy. My knee is very unhappy right now, but I'm working on that next. As far as the windy conditions go, OMG! Someone told me that during a hurricane they close the bridges to traffic at 45 mph. Well, the winds today were reported at 25-35, with gusts to 40 mph!

  • Comments: This is a well run race. The only down side of this race was the Fun Run that was later on was a total cluster F. They changed the course and nobody seemed to have a clue about what was going on. I think the kids had fun anyway but it still sucked.

  • Comments: Despite the crowds, this is one of the greatest races. The organization is almost flawless, and the city really comes out for support. I've never seen any post-race complaints about the imposition on traffic like in other cities. Can't wait until next year!
