artichoke Posted August 23, 2005 at 05:47 AM Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 at 05:47 AM Anyone entering the Marathon, Half, 10K or 5K this year? Have you entered in the past? Or do you know anyone who has entered in the past or is entering this year? What do they think of the race etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wushijiao Posted August 23, 2005 at 08:35 AM Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 at 08:35 AM I didn't do the race last year, but I heard it was run fairly sloppily. Two people died. There were no staffers to give water to the slow runners...etc. But I would guess that these problems have been rectified. I might enter the half. Don't know yet.

Peng Taili Posted September 29, 2005 at 07:33 AM Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 at 07:33 AM Indeed, last year a couple of runners died on the course and the support tables were understaffed, then packed it in before a lot of the runners were past. Thus, people in the latter half of the marathon were left without water and forced to fight traffic. I am not going to be in BJ when it is run this year though probably wouldn't anyway.
