Margaret
loved the route , and the shuttles were organized .Also the race kit pick up was great. It would be nice to have a few bands along the race route, steel band, or something.
Also i feel more bicycle paramedics checking on people .Loved the metal, and it was great.

Well organized event. The route was amazing, the shuttle buses were convenient and the race kit pick ups were done quickly. I would like to say a big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who allow events like this to happen! Without you guys, these events would not be so great! This was my first 15km race and the medal is amazing!
Cheers,

Ran the 15k last night…Great run, great route, amazing volunteers. Loved the swag, nice to get a real water bottle and eliminate all the race from the disposable bottles/cups given at most races.
Looking forward to coming out next year!!!

Number of runners and I found the route to be about 500 metres to 700 metres short of 30K. The race was fairly organized otherwise and I thought they did a fabulous job with the shuttle bus. I loved the souvenir water bottle and the big finishing medal at the end. Unfortunately, runners who finished towards the latter part of the race didn’t get water bottles as organizers ran out and there were no water or beverage provided at the finish area. It would have been nice to provide extra liquids (water, juice, gatorade etc.) at the finish area.

Best organized event I’ve been to. The route was interesting and the shuttles were great, didn’t have to wait for one. I plan to do it again next year. I had a great time.

My first year doing this race was a very positive experience. The one waterstop was out of water but the next one made up for it. I was very impressed that even the last runner (my good friend) got a warm reception at the finish line including a medal, water bottle, and food. Overall it was a very positive race experience. The costumes were great, the volunteers were great, and the race experience was great.

This was my first Mid-Summer Run, the enthusiasm among runners and volunteers was great. There could have been more water stations considering the heat. The pre and post run atmosphere was warm and inviting, like RunStock. (: Award Ceremony should have been in the beer area, and more food choices (hot) would have been cool. I give it a 7/10.

This was a fun race! It starts at sunset.. so added challenge to run near dark. Fun because a lot of it runs through the beaches in the summertime! Fun AFTER PARTY too, which so many races lack, in my opinion! It’s all about the beer and fun after the race, too, I think
There was FOOD too, that you could buy so everyone didn’t run home in hunger.

This event has a very nice local feel to it. Nice t-shirt and medals. Flat route but not much in terms of crowd support. There was a food area where you could purchase additional food afterwards which was nice. I really like the timing of this race as it is a perfect setup for a fall half or full marathon.

I ran the 30k last year and had an amazing time! I found the race to incredibly well-organized, including shuttle transportation to and from the host hotel. Race kit pick up was quick and easy. The route was scenic and relatively flat. The overall atmosphere is quite fun, with lots of people dressed up in costumes. The medal is one of my favourites. The shirt included in the race kit is very nice (though the long sleeves are a little warm for that time of year), and you had a choice of colours (either black or white). I like that it takes place on a Saturday night – because then us out-of-towners can enjoy a night out (or resting) before heading back home on Sunday. I like that they gave away re-usable water bottles at the finish, rather than relying on plastic water bottles. And last but not least, the bbq and beer tent at the finish line are AWESOME! I would highly recommend this race and I have already signed up for 2013.
