This event is great and well done if it takes place. These guys used the coronavirus in 2021 to keep everyone's money and not transfer the runners to the next event. If they put on the race, they do a good job but now they make you buy insurance in case they cancel the race which is a scam.
No other Race Event Director in the entire United States just kept everyone's money! All race directors offered a refund but most just allowed the runners to transfer the entry fee to the next event in 2022 or later in the 2021 season so they could do the race and not lose their money to the race director.
Many people were pissed and did not buy an entry into the 2022 race. My wife does about 50 events a year and she said she will NEVER run in this event again. She said they STOLE her money!
