Event comments:

The courses were clearly marked an easy to follow. There were some issues. The run required running through an uneven dirt lot, with volunteers yelling "watch you ankles, uneven ground". It was still kind of dark and difficult to see the ground. There were "citizens on patrol" at some of the intersections, but at one intersection, they were talking among themselves, ignored vehicle traffic, which resulted in a couple of riders almost getting run over by a vehicle. There were also poor restroom facilities. The only had one male and one female restroom available for over 300 participants. No port-a-potties. Apparently, one of last years issues were people using the parking lot for a restroom.
