  • Comments: Overall with the 40 degree temps, rain, lighting, wind, hail, injuries and becoming hypothermic, this was an awesome race. People running the race were great. The course itself was good too there was nothing to complain about. The volunteers were the best I have ever seen. They were all out there for the entire time in the miserable weather conditions getting soaked. I never went by one who was not smiling or giving some words of encouragement. They were super!!!! The ladies in the massage tent I just cant say enough. I didn't see one of them doing a massage but were assisting people ensuring they okay. If I had to complain about anything about the race would be the finish line. With the weather being like it was I wish they would have taken everything inside somewhere so people could get out of the rain and thaw out.

  • Comments: This race has THE best volunteers of any race I've ever done. It seemed like every time you started to think, "Hm, water would be nice!" there was a water station. And, you have to be seriously dedicated to go and stand out there in weather like that. The medical staff were tremendous and wonderful and they made my day by not making me feel daft for asking for help, because I probably would not have made good choices had I not stopped there. I would definitely do this race again.
