Race Management
I ran the Goldy’s 5K after it was recommended by a friend and seeing the beautiful medal. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The seeding system was poorly managed and enforced, so many walkers (and families with strollers) started at the front. This resulted in severe course congestion at many points - some places it was so narrow that it was impossible to pass someone pushing a stroller at all. There was also not a single aid station on the entire 5K course despite being a relatively warm day. At the finish line, it took about 15-20 minutes to get medals and a water bottle (we skipped food because lines were so long). The medal was beautiful, but overall this race was a bit disappointment. I don’t think I’ll run it again.
