A Review of the 2011 Runcbus 10
2014年7月9日A Review of the 2011 Runcbus 10
in Gahanna. This is the first time it was held and runners had mixed emotions about the event overall. One of the best things for the runners were the New Balance jackets that were given to the first 500 registrants. These were high quality stylish jackets that were worth more than the entry fee.
The morning of the race was a little confusing for runners as to the location of the portable restrooms before the start of the race. There were many who could not find them and the result was a long line in at a nearby Kroger’s. Unfortunately, some race participants didn’t make it to the start on time.
The race started out downhill for the first two miles settling into nearby neighborhoods. Then the course went into a trail. Once on the trail there was a very large hill to climb. It was also very hard on the other side of the hill as the incline forced runners to lean back and try to control their speed. There were also some parts where runners were very close to oncoming traffic.
Water stations were also a concern on the course. By looking at the course map, it was unclear as to where those stations were located and there was talk among the runners along the way wondering how much farther it would be to the next station Cheap New Balance WL574WBP on Sale. There was also a gel station around mile seven.
One extremely helpful aspect was that each mile marker was clearly visible along the course. Even mile marker 8 that had fallen down was still noticeable.
The race ended somewhat uphill, but nothing like the hills along the course. Subway subs and chips were offered as the post race food, which was a nice change from other races.
Overall, the Runcbus 10Miler was a good event with a few things that could be improved upon for next year. The jackets and post race food were a plus. The hilly course and not knowing where the restrooms and water stations was something of a topic of discussion for runners. The 2012 Runcbus 10Miler will be a race to look for next year for Columbus runners looking for a challenging practice race for halfmarathon distances.
