Race rating (5)

Organised?Yes
Events on time?No

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

Post race activities? Good
Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: I really love this race, the course is a real blast (as long as you run perfect tangents!), and you can't beat free food from Druthers and live music for the after party. Two minor issues: it never starts on time because the police always take an extra few minutes to get the roads closed. And there aren't many aid stations. I remembered from last year and brought my hand held bottle, so no problem for me, but still. But really minor issues for an otherwise awesome event! And I even won a $125 gift certificate in a "random" raffle (12th overall male for their 12th anniversary). Can't beat it!

Comments: A half marathon and no packet and no medal? That seems cheap in my eyes. I've done 5k's that have given more stuff away.
