Reported by:

Race rating (4)

Organised?Yes
Events on time?Yes

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

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

Comments: Excellent medals, shirts, good food, great organization. I have gone to HM events that were a better value for the food and cost. Porta pottys and water were very easy to find on the course. I loved the course timing clocks. But the 5K started about 10 minutes sooner, so it was easy to think you were running 10 minutes behind, at least for a moment.

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

Comments: Was surprised to find that the participants had a choice of a hot dog and small bag of chips or pancakes for their post race food. There was a charge, although small, for anything above and beyond that. No metals were given for the wheelchaor division, even though they promoted the division in the pre-race sign ups and had 2 participants signed up over 2 weeks in advance.

Comments: Like I said above, I don't think I liked passing right next to the finish line at mile 8, but then again that could have been a mental issue due to my lack of training. I wouldn't hesitate to run this race again though.
