I'm looking forward to this race every year. It seems to get very big, I still remember when there were a lot fewer people making the treck out to Brooklyn.<br />Normally, this race is happening in bitter cold weather (it always happens that way for some reason), so that is the reason why packet pickup is in a high school and the after race food is also served there. I guess frozen bagels after the race would lead to complaints too.<br />There were also three dates for early packet pickup (one even in Manhattan) so if you decide to register at the last moment and show up 45 minutes before the start, you should expect some bumps in the road. NYRR wouldn't even give you a number.<br /><br />I really liked that personalized email with my reace result less than two hours after the race. Take note NYRR!<br /><br />I love the smaller races put up by 100% volunteer organizers. Nobody is making a living of the Cherry Tree.<br />So, thanks PPTC for anothr job well done. See you soon!<br /><br />P.S.: That hat though....not a fan!Berndnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563809668870095451.post-64040402117779506132012-02-21T11:50:05.730-05:002012-02-21T11:50:05.730-05:00Oh, and you're right I did not read the websit...Oh, and you're right I did not read the website. This is my 13th race since May, and I didn't know I had to. The only pre-race communication I received was about bibs (maybe that had to do with when I registered?). The website did have info about awards, but as I am far too slow to ever get an award, I didn't equate awards with the "this is where the food will be". If I didn't know, now I definitely know!
