I had friends and roommates do the one in Chicago, and there were def. kinks in the planning of that one too.<br /><br />Races can be so much fun. It's sad to think that maybe some race directors/companies don't care about the runners as much as they care about the profit they'll make from registering lots of people (even if its way beyond their capacity to accommodate them).<br /><br />Keep running and racing!<br />-AbigailAbigail Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935818594396207981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887972774894305778.post-74906961956973861582011-12-07T22:09:10.590-05:002011-12-07T22:09:10.590-05:00I follow a few other runners that ran the 15K and ...I follow a few other runners that ran the 15K and they had a lot of similar things to share. They even said that part of a highway/road wasn't shut down so runners we along side cars. NOT SAFE. <br /><br />I didn't read though the whole race directors comments because i was getting disgusted. It seemed he/she wanted to put blame on someone else.Jana from Running Vegetarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454736980943082079noreply@blogger.com
