  • Comments: There was a perfect amount of drink stations. The Broad St run is almost an institution in Philly - so all sorts of organizations show up to play music, hand out water, cheer.... it was a great experience for me. I'd definitely do it again, as long as I was feeling good about my ability to finish the entire course again.

  • Comments: This was a great race I will do again. It was on time, had lots of volunteers, was a great course and had good post-race food bags. Cons were the picking up of the food bags was a total CF. No one knew what was going on and it was very unorganized. They also need more port-o-potties. We were somewhat spoiled as we had a bus to drop us of and pick us up so I can't give feedback on the transportation provided by the race.

  • Comments: They were organized except in the food tent. I thought Kristin was going to have a smack down while waiting for the bags of food to arrive.

  • Comments: this is an awesome race. it helped that we had our own transportation and didn't have to take their shuttle, but it was organized, had a great course, and a fun atmosphere. as with all races, get there early if you need the port-o-jon, but i would definitely do the race again.

  • Comments: They really messed up the trains to the start. Heard there were thousands who missed the actual start because the trains were all locals, stopping at every station along the way. In the past they have had express trains, but not sure why they didn't this year. I know someone who crossed the start line 8-10 mins after the start and he said there were tons of people behind him. That's a big problem.
