 "Ditto Disappointed" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 1 FANS: 1 Momma always said, 'If you can't say anything nice, ...'. To heck with Momma. But I will keep it to one point --- safety is an issue. Traffic control was virtually non-existent. We took to the streets (in the dark!) with no course markers or volunteers/police to control on-coming and cross traffic. This posed a safety hazard, particularly on 45-mph roads which don't have shoulders. Additionally, water was not available every two miles as organizers had promised. Safety should be organizers' paramount concern. A disturbing lack of concern was displayed, and I would not recommend this event on that basis alone. If you *really* want to do an event in the Midwest in October, choose the Indianapolis Marathon (two weeks prior to Louisville). Traffic control & volunteer support is A-1, particularly for an event of its size. | |

 "Disappointed" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 2 There were no split times given throughout the marathon. It's very difficult to pace or know how you're doing without your splits. The race was very small. The course was flat but very boring in parts. Everyone associated with the race was very friendly and helpful and the few spectators that there were, were excellent! I had a PR but was dissapointed in the overall race. |
