Small Town Race without the Small Town Charm
Pros:
- Volunteers were fabulous. Well prepared and cheered us runners on. Local police manning traffic were diligent and kept us safe on the roads.
- Expo was in & out.
- Finisher medal was a cool design with the outline of the state.
- Course map on MapMyRun. I was able to export & re-import into Strava, which was useful.
Cons:
- Warm water at the finish. By the end of the marathon, it was into the 70s and no cold water in sight. Please stock with ice next time. I ended up skipping water altogether until I got to the hotel.
- Minimal spectators. Those that did show up, thank you for cheering us on.
- Minimal promotion. This race would benefit from a better social media presence. Engage your runners to get them excited about the event. Engage the town to get them out on the streets to cheer us on. Green Bay seems like a great city and the race doesn't do anything to showcase what makes the town worthwhile.
- Hate to say it, but Lambaeu Field was totally underwhelming. Cool to run around the field but they need to blast the music, put the runners on the jumbo tron, maybe get some Packers out there for high fives. It was just a jog through an empty stadium, no spectacle. Total missed opportunity.
Appreciative of the supporters that were out but don't think I'll run this one again unless there are some improvements.
