In short: Great city, friendly people, organisation let them down!
In full: I ran last year and this was one of my favourite races, this years...not so much.

While the new route was OK, the around the bay section was disappointing, because it was around the back of the houses around the bay.

Obviously the incorrect distance has given lots of people grief, including myself, I had hoped to use my time to get a better pen in a US race that requires proof.

The new logo was boring, and the new start/finish area was quite a hike from town (afte the race while it felt like a long way limping back to the hotel).

Proper pens and wave starts will improve congestion significantly.

In short: Nice race, the other runners are very friendly
In full: Loved the stretch along the water, the cross country gravel section wasn't good though. A second powerade station would have been good, and more time for slower runners (people running under 3 hours were being told to use non-existant footpaths)
