I ran another race with this group.  They were the worst organzied I had ever seen.  The route was pretty, but dozons of things went wrong.  The bus left early and without most of the runner.  The five on the bus told they could start without everyone, which they did not.  The route was not well marked.  We had no idea what mile we were at.  The finish line wasn't set up for the first few who crossed it, the timing chips weren't set off until the end of the race, the clock was 10 mins off, etc., etc.  I was told by another that this is normal.  Although the route may be beautiful, think of it more as a training run and you won't care if things go wrong.  Not to diss the group, but I at least thought people should be prepared.
