"This race was not timed other than seeing the clock when starting and finishing. There were 10,000 runners and it took us nearly 5 min to cross the start line. In a race that big it would have been much better to have some line up organization and people to hold others accountable. It's frustrating to get stuck behind walkers or have people stop right in front of you two minutes after crossing the start line where you nearly run into them. The race over all was crowded and annoying. The course is nice and flat. It was hot and humid. The crowd was great as far as sideline cheers and TONS of water stations. Organizationally was not pleasant as far as the race, packet pickup was fine and finding parking was not difficult due to it being near a large auditorium. I did not see any mile markers until I reached 3 miles. Overall my least favorite race to date."
