 To be improved

 

- mileage signage (where was mile 12 sign?) and hub signage- it needed to be higher up as crowds covered important info. 

- Start line - No pauses staggering runners at the start to reduce the bottleneck at the underpass at 0.8 miles. PP said in the race instructions it would be done. There were also no start pens or signs indicating where you should stand for your predicted finish time so people flocked towards the Pacers who were positioned far too near the front. 

Would I do it again? If I remember to use the discount code given, yes. It you want a flat course for a pb, it's a good one to do.
