The course was well mapped and the volunteers were great. Many volunteers

cheered on the runners making the run a more enjoyable experience. The shirt design is not attractive and the cut is meant for men. The food/beer lines could have been organized better. Overall, if the organization and shirt designs improve, this could be a 5 start event.

I read most of the reviews above and found the comments quite informative. As a visitor to your country, I know about running events back home in South Africa. Yes, our events are well organised but I am quite impressed with the organisation here. Your events seems to be timed , where as back home we only have selective races timed and we have to buy a separate chip for that. You have it on your numbers. I did not know about the food, not that I would have eaten any. Personally I do not use portable "potties". At first I thought $40 was expensive for the event but I realized you provide T-Shirts. We have to buy them back home and they can be very expensive. As I do not know about your previous quality of T-shirts I can not really comment on that.

I've been doing this run for a few years now, so I guess I am used to the lines for the pottys and food. Overall, I love this race as the start to the season.

A fun, local, community event with great energy. However, since it's so popular, they need more potties and the food line was ludicrously long. However, they did have other snacks (oranges, granola bars, etc) for those who couldn't wait in the long line for hot food.

I tought the event as a whole was good. The shirts were not. I ordered a small and got stuck with a medium. Not nice quality. The ease of packet pick up was not easy. The drinks, muffins and fruit were gone before I got to the eating area. Not really a pasta person at 10am. The spectators, volunteers and police officers were awesome.

It was great... agree the course directors were good. Also, agree more port-a-pots and more organization around food lines would have been nice. We didn't get any food because the line was way too long. Was also very disappointed with the shirts. i got my packet on Sunday morning and am not sure if they ran out of small shirts or just didn't offer women's shirts but it would have been nice to have gotten a shirt that I can actually wear.

Horrible shirts. You'd think that in an area so rich with starving artists they could fork over $50 for someone to design a shirt? An elementary kid can do better than what we had. Other than that, I thought the food was great, course was great, marshals were wonderful, and many inspiring runners out there. Kind of crowded, but I was sort of expecting that.

Everything about this event is great, but the food line for the pasta and soup needs to be improved. It's ridiculous to wait 30-45 minutes in line for food. Why not have several lines? Strangely, there was no line for the beer and plenty of it.

Not enough portable potties. Also would love if they would have a 10 and under age group for awards. My daughter is 8 and ran the race and I would love to know if she was the youngest runner. It is hard for an 8 year old to compete with a 14 year old. Other than that we love the Clyde's race. We will be back next year.

Hated the tee-shirts!!!! Such an ugly color combo! In addition, offer womens and mens shirts and sizes.

Loved the energy and free beer!!!!
