Thank you to the volunteers at the start line, on the course and the finish line. I will always run this race, but I do need to throw this out there...
Two suggestions:
1. Drop the snack packs at the end. Seemed wasteful and makes more sense to keep it simple. Runners were happy with the table of QT candy for years, why change it?
2. The 60/70 mugs. Again, why break from tradition? Travel mugs are not what the fast men and women want. They want the basic ceramic coffee mug.

Change isn't bad, but more awareness of what the runners see as tradition is appreciated. Don't mess with tradition.
