C. C. from California (10/4/2010)

"Poorly organized event. Almost criminal." (about: 2010)

Summary of the marathon: no cups after mile 10 - just gallon jugs of water. Cups were never delivered. No sports drink. No gels. No porta-potties on the course; no medical support on the course or at the finish. Dangerous to say the least.

These were all problems with easy fixes and they were inexcusable.

R. F. from Camarillo, CA (10/3/2010)

"Where were the bands and bathrooms???" (about: 2010)

Okay, so the first time for any marathon is going to have its rocky places. But, c'mon, no porta-potties except for the ones out in the fields that belonged to the farmers? Four booths making up the "huge race day expo?" No electrolyte fluid showing up until mile 19? And, what about those "live bands at every mile?" The only music I heard was courtesy of one of the few spectators boombox.

On the upside, great youth volunteers manning the water stations, especially the cross-country boys from Buena High. And, awesome support from our local law enforcement agencies.

I love Camarillo. I love running. But I did not love this marathon. It was like going on a $100 training run.
