I disagree. Although I was proud to support the event, I think it was poorly planned. For starters, my group couldn't find the starting line (there was no signage or help anywhere). There were timers near the 1-mile an 2-mile mark, but I hadn't any idea when the finish line was coming up other than what my watch told me. After the race it was crowded and you had to avoid people from Dow handing out fliars that said they do not actually support water conservation; that they believe humans are more important than the environment? It was an odd thing to read. And I had to maneuver my way through the crowd to try to get a drink of water after the beautiful race in what was a great location pick.

So my feelings are mixed. Hopefully they put on a better event next year

This was a well-planned event. Dow provided Gatorade, water, and even a spectacular performance by Roots and John Legend. My thanks go out to the people at Dow who planned the event.

John
