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

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I think some of the shortcomings had a lot to due with the cold. Small volunteer teams and only water offered (at least for HM). The delayed start wasn't fun for such a cold day. However, the course was well marked and intersections were well staffed. A big kudos to all those volunteers who did come out and spendt hours in the cold. I would compete in this event again.

  • Comments: Nice local race with a pretty good turn out. You can't control the weather, but I still felt they did a good job of at least attempting to have water and gatorade at aide stations (they were very slushy). Volunteers were badasses.

  • Comments: A "smaller" no frills race that usually gets a good turnout (although the Northface race the day before may have pushed down participation this year). All of the basics were covered well, great volunteers, and good organization. I think if I were running the marathon I would have liked to see more nutrition options out on the course, but for a half marathon I think what was provided was adequate.

  • Comments: Overall this was a well organized race and I would recommend it. Its not like a triathlon where you get lots of free stuff in your goodie bag but then again alot of the proceeds of this race go to a great cause so I can't complain.
