Today, I turned down a 5k race that was reasonbly promoted for one that I pre-registered for that was poorly promoted. The reason for this: proximity.
The far race had what I expected: correct age groups, chip timing, brochures available at a race or store, timing clock & results posted.
The close race promised awards for age groups but i didnt stick around to see because, besides the fact I had many other things to do, too many things went wrong.
Now it's time to express myself.
Pro (positive): the race was for a good cause, asthma & even offered free screening. they had a bounce house for kids & had basic post race refreshments. At start/finish area, plenty of volunteers & most were nice. race director was also nice & did deliver race aps upon request. Raffle was available.
Con (negative): No clock, & therefore, no results, no race number, no goodie bag, no water, nor volunteers to give water, at the water stops, no lead cyclist to guide through the multi-curved course, no trophies however for some, the gift certificate is preferred.
