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

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Much improved production over 2014 and back on track from years past. For whatever reason participation was down this year. Perhaps on a related note, from an organizers perspective, the food was lacking. I didn't need cold breakfast burritos from Sonic. I'm fine with bananas and orange slices (milk and yogurt are good too). The PBR during the awards was great though.

  • Comments: This race has been going on for 35 years and as such it is a nicely organized race. The race is traditionally hot and windy (you are in Kansas), but overall still a fun time. The downsides are around the support. There is no bike support and the run support is not consistent. The water stations are sporadic and don't have much to offer (hello, ice would be nice). The finish is great, and this year they added a nice finisher's medal. I loved the free beer at the finish, but really they didn't have much else to offer. They had Sonic breakfast burritos, but that just doesn't sit well with my stomach. No chocolate milk, no bananas, just water, gatorade, burritos and beer.
