As many of you know I signed up to run a marathon as a mid training cycle race for the 50k I signed up for. About a week before the race I received an email, that I had talked about in a previous post, letting us know the race course was changing because city officials were going to back out if it wasn’t changed. Later I found out it was because the race didn’t supply enough volunteers to help police man the roads. This is just one thing of many that was messed up about this race.
So I’m just going to list the pros and cons of this race.
Run Then Wine- Las Cruces,NM
Cons
– The race didn’t start on time
– No gels at aid stations
– BIG ONE– the course was not 26.2 (look at the picture of my watch)
– They didn’t warn about the bugs. I got bit probably 50 times all over my legs
– Disorganized from start to finish
Pros
– Close to home
– I know I can run a 50k now
Would I recommend traveling for this race— heck no!
Don’t waste your time or money.
