Run For The Hall 5K & Health Expo Race Reviews

Fantastic 5K

For an inaugural event, this 5K greatly exceeded many more established 5K races that I have ran. The course was fantastic going through the school property and local neighborhood with plenty of shade, solid run paths, and protection from wind/vehicles. The amount of volunteers was amazing due to their numbers and enthusiasm. The water station placement provided two opportunities for water. The post race food, DJ, and booths exceeded some larger distance races even providing activities for young children not running. The breakdown with the timing chips and the related software was “untimely”. That piece of the puzzle should be easily fixable by either the third party vendor’s own reckoning or by finding a new vendor to provide proper timing. What can’t be replaced (i.e. venue site, race course layout, volunteer organization, post-race events, and enthusiasm of spectators) is a solid foundation for future years of racing.
