  • Events on time?No

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

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Disorganized event; event started later than expected and had us freezing in very cold wind chill conditions for quite some time; police had us switching between right and left numeorus times per lap as they clearly ahd not anticipated the differences in speed between sprinters, joggers, and walkers. The after-event area was extremely crowded and chaotic. And yes, Id like some cheese with my whine, I simply prefer things a little cleaner cut than they were.

  • Comments: I thought this was a good race (although I don't have any to compare it to) and I would do it again next year. The golden potato is a sh*tty finisher's medal, but oh well. I liked the course because I work in downtown Hartford and these are my stomping grounds.

  • Comments: This race was well organized, lots of police presence and a fair number of volunteers considering the rainy weather. Water stations should have been more clearly marked, and I would have liked to see either a marked mile 2 point or one that was as obvious as the first mile marker. Nice T-shirts. Good post race food spread. Not much crowd turnout for the number of racers, but this could have been weather related.
