It makes me sad though because I love Greenville and really wanted to have a great race to say good bye :( Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563142800554334759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275704259832934186.post-79625237798421261342016-10-31T10:03:50.657-04:002016-10-31T10:03:50.657-04:00I was thinking about posting in BibRave - I think ...I was thinking about posting in BibRave - I think I'm going to see if they send out a "how did we do?" email. If they don't then I think I'm going to email the race director.

My husband has run it 4 times and said this year was by far the worst. It's put on by a pretty active track club in a runner friendly city so they should know :( Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563142800554334759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275704259832934186.post-87383048855597588342016-10-31T09:53:46.777-04:002016-10-31T09:53:46.777-04:00This sounds absolutely awful.

Everything mark perfectly and tons of volunteers. I'll be doing the half there this year, but they have a full as well.

Clearly marking the course with arrows should be task number 1 - not just for the 4+ hour runners, but also for any runners!! I don't care how the scale of the race changed, that race director needs to hear how poorly this race was executed! Are you on BibRave? This would totally be an experience to post... I hope future races never compare to this one for you! livinglovingrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572796254219994817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275704259832934186.post-84325884139191750702016-10-31T08:53:09.896-04:002016-10-31T08:53:09.896-04:00Omg this is terrible!!

I hate seeing people jumping on the "let's organize a marathon" because they think it sounds easy and they'll make money. Ugh.<br /><br />- Lora @ Crazy Running GirlLorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545640411475260863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275704259832934186.post-32797840741740647312016-10-31T08:08:02.880-04:002016-10-31T08:08:02.880-04:00Oh my - that sounds horrible and terrifying!
