Were there enough aid stations and were they well stocked? (145)

Absolutely.

Aid Stations were all great. Hard to pick a winner!

Aid stations were awesome.

Aid stations were awesome; it’s always a nice touch to have someone call you by name!

Aid stations would be better if they were longer (you had more time to grab a drink). Also it would be nice to have the water and Gatorade separated more and marked better or announced by the volunteers.

All the Aid stations were great.

Best aids stations of any race I do.

Could use one more. very well-stocked

Definitely

Enough aid stations, but need to have Gatorade at the Incline aid station. Also, the Gatorade at Barr Camp tasted more watered down than a domestic light beer--aid station captains should taste each batch.

Enough stations, but it would have been nice to have an energy gel at mile 8 and/or 10

Enough. Only the Incline station was proactive enough to get the goods to the runners. I never saw any “Carb-boom” at any stations though I needed it.

Excellent

Fantatstic stocked aid stations!

Fine

Fine. more gels would heave been nice.

Food on top would have been good — pretzels, other salty items

Good

Good good good good.

Great

Great aid stations

Great aid stations with enthusiastic volunteers. They really motivated you !

Great organization and support by the areas finest high schoolers — awesome!

I could use one more aid station. They were plenty well-stocked.

It would have been great if there was one more aid station.

Just right

Just right, the first aid station had it right you had enough time to get a couple waters if desired

Maybe one more

Missed the Gu at No Name. Workers were standing in front of the box and didn’t offer. I had to ask where it was.

Oh yea...they really did a great job...very supportive! thank you everyone!

Perfect

Perfect

Perfect

Plenty

Plenty

Plenty stations. well stocked

Pretty good

Stations were well stocked even for us 3 hour folks. The kids needed to know how there station is identified in the voting so they would not be calling out their school name. Some folks may not recognize the names applied such as Bob’s Road or Cowboy to the stations.

The aid stations were all done very well and well stocked.

The aid stations were some of the best that I’ve seen during dozens of races.

The aid stations were terrific!

The aid stations were the best I’ve seen at any race. Please express my appreciation to the students for taking the time to man them, their enthusiasm for the runners, and most of all, the clever themes they used. There were enough aid stations and they were well stocked. I hope the students understand how much all the runners appreciated their efforts.

They were great

They were great!

Very good amount of aid stations. Had problems with the people at the stations not spreading out enough. Had to wait in line at the first station to get a cup of water. Saw several people run through the station so that they didn’t have to wait.

Very well done!

Very well done.

Well stocked yes, and one more aid station may be better.

Yes on both counts.

yes there were enough stations, and yes they were well stocked

Yes there were enough, and yes they had plenty. It would have been nice if someone at Barr had been handing out energy gel. I missed it on the table and could not go back to get it.

yes!!

Yes, although access to the gels should be easier.

Yes, but handing out gel at the beginning of the race to carry along would have helped

Yes, excellent — the Gatorade was just the right strength and the HS kids were great.

Yes, great wild stations.

Yes, if only all races had this good of aid stations we would be set. The theme from Halloween with Jason standing in the woods was AWESOME!

Yes, plenty.

Yes, thanks.

yes, the kids did a great job!

Yes, there were enough and they were well stocked. However, in the race package, I read that one of them was going to be stocked with Carb Boom ~ never saw it. If it was at one of the stations, the high-schoolers need to be shouting out “Carb Boom” just like they do with the water and Gatorade.

Yes, they did a great job

Yes, well stocked

Yes, well stocked. I really enjoyed the effort the high schools put into it!!

Yes, would have been nice to have a person handing out gel like the water and Gatorade, I had to look for it on the tables in the cardboard boxes, stop, and grab some. I would have preferred to take it on the fly.

Yes, yes
