\u00a0The course was advertised as having rolling hills. \u00a0From what everyone has said, these weren&#8217;t rolling hills. \u00a0These were large hills and many said the course was worse than Baltimore, which is known for being hilly. \u00a0Hilly courses are fine &#8211; just advertise them as such so runners can properly train!<\/p>\n<p>Post race, I got to meet up with other friends who were running, which was great, but we had to rush back to the hotel to make our delayed departure.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that traffic getting into the winery? \u00a0Yeah, same thing going out. \u00a0We didn&#8217;t get back to the hotel until almost 3:30. \u00a0We left before 1:30. \u00a0Two hours. \u00a0Of course, we called the hotel multiple times and they were amazing. \u00a0We finally asked them to just grab our bags out of the rooms and store them for us so that they could get the rooms clean. \u00a0Thank you, Holiday Inn at Carradoc Hall! \u00a0Other hotels required people to pay for an extra night. \u00a0They were well within their rights to do so. \u00a0All because of poor planning on race management&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the only response from the race organizers is a quick sentence on their Facebook page apologizing for parking and traffic delays. \u00a0Personally, that&#8217;s not good enough for me. \u00a0Of course, I would be shocked if they get permits for this race next year. \u00a0And if they do, they&#8217;ll have trouble getting the same runners to come back. \u00a0I&#8217;ve heard such great things about this race organization, so I thought this would be a well planned race. \u00a0I thought wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off, I always laugh when this race is billed as a DC race. \u00a0I live less than 2 miles outside of the DC border, and this race started an hour northwest of my house. \u00a0It&#8217;s a beautiful part of the country, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but it&#8217;s not Washington, DC.
