"Good First Effort" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 The marathon went pretty well for a 1st annual. Amount of water and sports drink were great. Perhaps even overwhelming (30 stations in 26 miles!) The organizers failed to deliver on a number of promises however: 'A 26 mile tailgate party' - I'm not sure I saw the party, running through Lambaugh was great though! 'Overhead clocks at 5k, 10k, and 1/2 marathon points' - I must have missed them. 'Plenty of port-a-pots at start' - there were only 8 for 6000 people. I spent 40 minutes in line! Speaking of lines, skip the pre-race pasta dinner. We stood in line for 1 1/2 hours in the rain waiting to get a seat and eat. It would have been nice to know that it was to be held outdoors! It was really disappointing to hear they weren't able to get the age group awards together by that evening, plus ran out of water and drinks pretty early. A good first effort, but room for improvement. | |

"Organizers need to pay attention to details." (about: 2000)
COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 1 FANS: 5 I ran the half marathon and was very greatful to all the volunteers and spectators who kept us going. Running through Lambeau Field was the high point of the event, but unfortunately that was at mile 4 and there wasn't anything else of interest along the way. Water stations were inconsistantly spaced, anywhere from a 1/2 mile apart up to at least 1 1/2 miles maybe even 2 miles apart (I would be more acurate but there weren't any mile markers for several miles either). The Organizers of this event need to pay attention to the details next year, from enough water at the water stations (I ran through three that were out) to whether it's wise to start everyone (6,800) at the same start. | |

"Great Volunteers/no medal, no rose , no WATER" (General Comments)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 1 FANS: 5 The volunteers and fans were wonderful!!! Running through Lambeau field was fun. Organization poor. After finishing the marathon there was not a drop of water or anything to drink and there were 4 hours of people behind me. A spectator bought me a glass of lemonade. Also, no rose, no medal, and still no results. |
