A good time! A good race! Great people!

A great event.

A great race in a great place...who cold ask for more!

An efficiently organized race. I enjoyed the water station competition.

Another great year for this race, good job to all who helped put it on!

Another well run event. Thanks to everyone involved.

As always… an excellent race and it was nice to have Matt Carpenter at the end of the race to shake my hand and thank me for running the race.

Awesome race I intend to make this a yearly tradition.

Could use a couple of porta potties at Soda Springs Park. The public toilet was locked early in the AM. I Would like to see mile markers every mile.

Do it again

Don’t change a thing.

Enjoyed being a part of this contest.

Enjoyed volunteering for the race.

Great race. My absolute favorite.

Great race. Thanks to everyone who organized it and volunteered.

Great that Matt Carpenter played such an active role — shaking hands at the end — makes you feel that it’s a real running community, not just a race

Hats of to Larry Miller and Incline Club

Hats off to the Race Committee, you really out did yourself this year — looking forward to next.

I can barely walk the day after:)

I can re-evaluate my goals and alter my training for the next 3 weeks.

I didn’t do the race just want to see the results

I didn’t like seeing the gel packets people threw down along the trail.

Maybe make pre race announcement asking runners to drop trash at aid stations.

I have really enjoyed running this event and will continue to do so. I have also been running PP the last five years and feel that this is timed just right in preparation for PP.

I have run this race 3 years in a row and it just gets better each year. Great Job

I hope I’m around next summer to run it again. I really still can’t get over how nice everyone was in this race, how both faster and slower runners encouraged everyone, looked out for everyone.

I know it is hard but with the high temperatures here as soon as the sun gets out, it would be nice to start an hour earlier, other than that good job!!!!

I like to mix Gatorade and water. I grabbed the first cup whatever it was and I had trouble to get the other. Could we serve water in plain cups and Gatorade in Gatorade cups? At least for me, it would prevent a lot of confusion. I bet others would be helped as well by this change. Thanks

I loved the race and would definitely do it again!

I ran this race the inaugural year, 2nd year, volunteered 3rd and 4th years and ran this year. I have heard nothing but positive comments about the race and the organization of it. Our local running community loves it and the out-of-towners love it! I hope to be a part of the BTMR next year as well.

I really, really liked the race. It was challenging, exciting, breathtaking and fun at the same time. The town rocks, so quaint and beautiful. Its a shame the trail is so small...but that makes it the great race it is!

I think the BTMR is a good, fun race. I did it several years ago. I’m just training for other things now.

I understand that this information is useful, but there may be a better way of getting it instead of making it necessary to view the results.

It was nice to get a personal greeting at the finish from Matt Carpenter!

It was tough but I enjoyed it, It was great

It was well worth the entry fee to watch Matt blaze down the trail minutes ahead of 2nd place.

Just wish I could get faster on the ascent

Keep up the good work

Looking forward to next year!

More door prizes for us losers, but I’m going to enjoy the Chipotle’s burrito. Thanks.

Much improved snacks at the end over last year. The popsicles, grapes, pretzels were great.

My first time doing the race and I really enjoyed it.

Nice job

Nice that Matt Carpenter greeted everyone crossing the finish line. Very sportsman-like.

Nicely managed... Great water station support and enthusiasm. Need to have Soda Springs open their bathrooms.

None

None

Once again, a favorite race

One of the best races I have done

Overall I thought it was a great race and look forward to competing next year

Participated in all 5 races thanks to volunteers. Great race

Please let us access results without having to fill out a survey.

Pre-race announcer needs some work. no instructions on primes or uphill/downhill courtesy

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you Barr Trail and Associates!!!!

Thank you for your hard work

Thanks for a great race.

Thanks for organizing. I look forward to organizing.

Thanks.

The aid stations were much more enthusiastic last year! Kind of Blah and basic this year.

The general public hikers were great today, however it would probably be good to post a good sign at the beginning of the trail and let them know etiquette

The race is very well done. My hat is off to Matt and all the others who pull it off.

The race just keeps getting better. Keep up the great work!

The race was very well organized. Thank you all for your hard work.

This is a race that could serve as a model to other race directors on how to run a race.

This race gets better every year.

This race is very well run and the distance is between the short fasts and the long slows which makes it a good change of pace.

This race may not be the biggest race on Pikes Peak but it is certainly the best!

This was a well put together race that was a lot of fun, definitely a 10 guys, there was one minor thing I would have liked to have seen. A board that showed the finishers and their times.

This was as always the best organized race I have ever run. Everything about it is first-rate.

This was just a superb event all around.

This was the first running race I’ve done in 10 years (the second ever). Nice atmosphere in the running community...Hopefully I’ll be able to do more races.

Very well done!

Very well managed race.

Very well run with great sponsorship

Well organized. I appreciated Matt shaking every finishers hand. Nice touch.

What an awesome race. Very organized and lots of fun & pretty scenery !

Wow, that Matt guy is FAST!!!!!

You guys/gals did a great job and I will be back next year for sure.
