Comments:

1500 participants, 3rd year of the event. Run started at 6:30pm. Also allowed were dogs and strollers, so I spent a bit of time dodging both. But there are some strong runners pushing some of those strollers!
What would you do differently?:

Hopefully, at this size they will think about moving the walkers, dogs, etc to one side or the other. I would try to spend less time on the lateral shifts.

Warm down:

Walk with Liz, bottle of water, small Larabar (though it didn't sit real well on my stomach)

Event comments:

They had a separate 1K for kids, which was good. I think there needs to be some separation of runners v walkers v dogs, etc.
