COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 A runner's marathon - thoughtful about the details that matter. Any small kinks will easily be worked out next year. This should be a nice staple for running in the greater Spokane area - a nice place to visit from out of town too. Pros: (1) packet pick-up was easy enough - cool shirts and reusable totes; (2) bus transportation to the start was painless; (3) adequate porta-potties; (4) the course was gorgeous and paralleled the lovely and full Spokane River most of the way - the finish over the raging river and falls was awesome! (5) aid stations were well stocked with electrolytes or water - there was also GU, but I did not use it; (6) mile markers consisted of very visible real estate signs with the mileage on them and were pretty close to accurate (I learned from a race official that the markers and aid station supplies were set out the night before and were vandalized overnight so the race officials did a nice job on recovery); (7) the medal was way cool; (8) the race officials waited almost 8 hours for the last finishers and kept the clock running and finishers medals handy - that is just classy Cons: These are all minor and will be easily fixed next year. (1) the start line bus drop off was hard to find; (2) the 1-2 mile detour around the the Barker Bridge was a little boring - the river spoiled us; (3) the finisher's party later on was probably good, but I prefer getting it all done at once before people scatter. A big thanks to all of the sponsors, volunteers, and competitors (and their support crews). |
