Chocolate City 5K Race Reviews

Worst race yet

The organization was very poor. The forecast was bad, they should’ve cancelled. But they were money hungry. This was not a light rain, it was literal DOWNPOUR. Staff was unpleasant and rude before and after the race. Before the anthem, a rude staffwoman spoke to the crowd and said , “ zip it.”. Is this the way you speak to your participants? The course was ok but the bridges were slippery due to the intense rain. People were soaked and sneezing, clearly catching a cold already. The award ceremony was drawn out way too long, by that time most of the people left so they don’t catch their death out in the windy cold. When speaking to the staff, they just kept saying the owner was in the hospital. I was sad to hear that but they had the decency to only care about him and not all the people who came out to have fun and yet just payed to be sick. Despite getting first in my category, I’m really disappointed with the race. They should be ashamed. It doesn’t seem like they care about their runners.
