Just wanted to say I ran this event last night.  It was a beautiful course, and the event sponsors did an outstanding job.  The t-shirt given out was the best t-shirt I've ever gotten from a 5k.  The design reminded me of the old Grateful Dead shirts with the dancing skeletons.

  Food and drinks were given out after the event and the sponsors went out of their way to provide great service.  I will definitely recommend this event to anyone in the future.

It was a fun race, but could have been better organized. The runners were not provided w/ tracking chip, t-shirt has a date  Oct 17- Sarasota, and this race was in St. Pete on Oct. 29th!

There should have been more than one water stand!

Some improvements I'd like to see: 1. the water station should have been lit up--I missed it on the way back 2. Start the race out front on the pier instead of in the back, it created a huge bottle-neck, and especially without timing chips-it took me 41 seconds to get to the starting line from where I started and 3.  timing chips...I mean what road race doesn't have them these days....other than that a good race.

Race was fun.  Should start in front and finish in front.  Course was very dark.  Could not find water stations.  All in all, besides no water at finish, I enjoyed the race very much.

I concur with all earlier comments - course was too dark, sidewalks were too narrow, and not enough water stops.  Overall it was fun though.

Also - I'm very interested in seeing the results?  Where are they?  Anybody know?

Very nice Course

A bit confusing with very narrow roads, NO LIGHTING, TOO DARK and Runners coming towards other runners, , people coming face on with others, not sure what that was about.

NO police presence after the race when walking back to where parking was, with "questionable" people, some in groups hanging out . NOT SAFE

VERY DARK

Disorganized Finish with Time Cards

No Race Picture's, they should have been up by the weekend, IF there were any, may I suggest Brightroom or www.marathonfoto for races, I think they are about the best.

No Chip timing,  why aren't the times posted? they should have been by Friday evening, this is Monday night

ONE water station with WARM water

One or 2 rude organizers that were giving answers to questions,making faces, and gestures in regard to Children race, with the child standing there.

Costume Participation FANTASTIC, however NO organization or recognition to that division

How about if you get a new design as well for your next race ?, this one is good, its just used ~

Why aren't the results posted on Coolrunning? A lot of people who paid to get in this race are still waiting......
