  • Comments: Worst water stations I have ever seen at a race. This is my third race with Mellew and the second with terrible water. After I finish the other two I signed for/paid to do with them, I will not be doing any more. Save your money and take it elsewhere to a race that actually provides adequate support to its runners.

  • Comments: I guess the other races I've been involved in were over and above, but this race was very unimpressing. There was no build up to the start of the race, just a "3,2,1...GO". Some people were still in line for the bathrooms and didn't even realize the race had started. Traffic was a mess getting to the race. Not impressed, will not run this event again.

  • Comments: The race was pretty well organized, but the course had some construction on some of the roads which made it somewhat difficult to run while in the "start crowd". The free massages were non-existent by the time I finished (the massagers had left before I finished). Overall I think the guy did a pretty good job.
