![]() Unfortunately that ruined the rest of what was a fun day. ![]() It took us 1 1/2 to get out of the parking lot, being the first ones in.we were bottled neck in.no one to direct traffic.the flea market was on at the same time. However the biggest issue is the PARKING.we were there at 7:30 and were already parked, on our way into the park.and girl came out and said sorry parking lot had not been closed and redirected.so that was a pain.and leaving was a NIGHTMARE. The only complaint would be the water stop, half way thru.the line-up to get the water was very long.which was the same at the end.long line up, no full water jugs.and of course very pushy people. I would like to say overall the actual event from entering the gate at 7:30 am to leaving at 12:30 pm was awesome. I'd love to do it again, and hope that event staff can improve upon the mishaps of this year. The lack of proper communication and poor event management is a bit worrisome. I ended up leaving the venue early to go and drink the dredges of whatever half consumed bottles in my car.Īll in all - I really did enjoy the concept of this race and the fun I had. Although vendors were handing out free samples, not one could tell me where I could purchase bottles of water. Since I did not get water at the first station, and only 1 small glass at the second, I was desperately wanting to rehydrate and refuel. Suffice to say, lineups were long, unorganized and lacked proper direction.ģ. Plus there were only minimal staff stationed at only 2 water stations for the entire event. I understand Brita was a sponsor, but having the poor volunteers continuously fill Brita pitchers and wait for them to filter the water was a bit extreme. Water stations were extremely poorly planned/executed. No official registration upon entering, as it was just a "cattle call" to line up and start the race as you were pushed through.ģ. There were no signs posted along the major roadways indicating where participants could go to park (is it on the left? right? etc.).Ģ. Clearer communication between organizers and participants regarding parking. ![]() I have ran in a few fun runs myself throughout the years, and that by no way makes me an expert, but I just wanted to throw out a few constructive criticisms on my takeaways from this event.ġ.
