I was totally impressed by the cvra. They hosted an outstanding run and the post race was top notch. I love the shirt. Thanks.
This was my first time running this race. I can’t say enough great things about it. The price – perfect. Parking – Great. Packet and chip pickup – Quick and easy. Tech Shirt – It’s a keeper, great front logo. The race – any race I PR in is wonderful to me. Post race – lots of yummy food, cool giveaways and hot chocolate what could be better. I’ll be back next year!
Fabulous race. Loved the homemade cookies and breads afterwards, thank you so much to everyone who made all that stuff. Whoever made the pistachio bread I need your recipe so please post it somewhere!
Love the chili and hot chocolate. Plenty of food for everyone. Thanks for having the race chip timed and for posting the results immediately. I think an out and back course would be easier so we don’t have to turn around twice, but that’s just a suggestion for next year. Thanks for all the door prizes and the wonderful unique medals for the winners. If you could, it would be great to have some goodies of some type in the race packet like a gu or gel packet or coupons for somewhere. Freebies are always great to have from the sponsors. The cost was just right and the location was very nice. Having the lodge to warm up in was a super great idea.
Really enjoyed the race this year. The light snow the night before made for some beautiful scenery around the park. Thanks to everyone who made all the cookies and homemade bread, very delicious. The hot chocolate was just what I wanted after the run.
The timing was super efficient. I crossed the line and had my time posted less than a minute later! Great job, CVRA!
