I'm very slow to criticise race organisation as I appreciate the time & effort put in by volunteers BUT...
ReplyDeleteI'd doubt I'll do this race again, the organisation wasn't up to scratch. The stewarding was a joke, cars & tractors out on the course and 1 of our lads said he saw 2 stewards in hi vis with bottles of beer in their hands.
The finish line was a joke. It was tucked around the corner of the last straight so you couldn't actually see it on your approach. It was just a faint line drawn on the road anyway. They had no overhead clock. Plus it was extremely narrow, there was a rope about 4 feet out from the wall of the pub and a load of people standing almost on top of you as you approached the line. I always finish with a kick and was happy I could pip the guy in front of me just before the line. But there literally wasn't room for me to pass him. I cant understand how the finish line is so narrow, it was actually dangerous to be running in at full pelt.
I cant understand how they got an AAI permit. Just as well there was only 100 odd runners. No way they'd have coped with say 3 or 4 hundred.
Ya gotta love the critics hiding behind the anonymous section. Perhaps this could be removed, some people are never happy.
ReplyDeleteI put the comment word for word on my Facebook page (Allen Cotter Running) .. Ironic the reply critical of my anonymous post was posted anonymously.
