    I'm writing to express my disappointment with the way my situation was handled. I recently reached…read moreout to request a transfer from the marathon to walk the 5K after suffering a concussion -- and your response showed zero empathy or basic courtesy. I tried to work with the management or drop down to walk the 5K and they were not willing to work with me at all. They told me it was passed cut off to defer and they don't do refunds (which I signed off on). I understand policies exist for a reason, but it doesn't take more than a single sentence to acknowledge someone's circumstances with a bit of humanity. The dismissive tone and lack of compassion are completely against the spirit of the running community, which is supposed to be about support and camaraderie -- not rigid rules and rude replies. This experience has made it clear that I won't be running any of your events again, and I'll be sharing my experience with other runners as well. I can only hope my registration fee goes toward something worthwhile -- ideally a good cause.

    Just finished the 2013 Cape Cod marathon in Falmouth, MA on 10/27/2013. It was my 63rd lifetime…read moremarathon and 41st state to run marathons in all of the 50 US states from Hawaii. Not an easy thing to do, but a very rewarding goal when you go through the process. Traveling to Cape Cod, MA was particularly rewarding, since I have heard for a long while that its a popular vacation destination for tourists. When i found out that a marathon was being held there, I jumped at the chance to sign up and plan travel to race there to knock off Massachusetts for my 50 states quest. On race morning, I got to meet up with the race director, Matt, who in his 1st year directing, has done an excellent job! I do believe that I am the only entrant from Hawaii at this year's race. While the biggest draw would be the Boston marathon in late April, I decided to run Cape Cod marathon just because of logistics and price of airfare. I got a good deal round trip in and out of Providence PVD instead of Boston BOS. So that was great. The field this year capped out about 1,000 runners for the marathon, which was fun and kept the race small enough and manageable. In its 36th running of the Cape Cod marathon, they also had their Clam Chowdah challenge, which mirrors the Goofy Challenge that the Walt Disney World marathon folks do in January, where you would take on the challenge of running a half marathon on Saturday and the full 26.2 course on Sunday - back to back. While I could've done that, it wasn't worth my effort to do so. However, people who do are rewarded with a unique finisher medal, a clam chowder commemorative bowl and t-shirt, and of course, bragging rights. The entry fees for the clam chowder challenge was just over $150, where as marathon only was about $80, if I remember correctly. Packet pick up and expo this year was held at the Lawrence School in Falmouth. In its gymnasium, it was a small enough expo, where you can get in and out within a matter of 30 minutes when you have checked out everything. Something new I don't see at other races, was where they actually screen the race t-shirts for you for free. If you wanted another type of shirt or design, there is an up charge for that. Race started and ended in Falmouth town center on Main Street. Race day parking can be found at the nearby middle school parking lot, per the marathon's race instructions. Not a bad walk from the finish line to the car - as I did that this year. The course itself is basically a point to point loop around all points of Falmouth. It showcased the residential areas of the areas, as well as photograph inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean. Mile markers were good as it counted up from 1 through 26. There was also a marathon relay being held in conjunction with the marathon that day, so it was good. The aid stations were adequately stocked and the support and cheering sections - especially at the relay areas were pretty good, since it was nice seeing people out there along the course besides the cops, random passerby in cars, and other race officials. The race course was not closed to traffic, but there was police patrolling key intersections to keep everyone safe, so that was good. Scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean at mile 4-5 and again at mile 24-25 was great. As always, the finish line was a nice sight to see for tired mind and legs. The course itself wasn't particularly challenging, but it was hilly more so in the 2nd half. The first half is considered flat. Well marked and lots of fun. If you would like a perfect fall marathon in New England, consider Cape Cod marathon in Falmouth, MA. Wonderful finish line amenities and they announce your name and home town as you cross the line. Got a nice round of applause when those around heard I was from Honolulu, HI. The finisher medal is pretty nice and worth the hurt to add this pretty boy to your bling collection. Run more! A+

I don't understand why they didn't just pull out 4 go carts for the people that were there waiting. Instead we stood there and waited for 35 minutes with kids.

My son was on a single and had fun trying to pass people. The staff was nice and friendly, but my only complaint is that the drivers could not hear the boys giving instructions over the roar of the engines at the beginning of each session. Otherwise, they did a good job of handling things. After that, we went to the trampoline basketball. For my 11 yr old son (who loves playing basketball) the hoop was too high for dunking, and probably for other kids as well but They were able to shoot hoops for a while while jumping and no one else was on line so they did it for awhile...prices were goods Would recommend.

    The Boston Athletic Association has added a 10k race to its competition offerings. The Inaugural…read moreBAA 10k was staged with the professionalism and precision you would expect from the group that organizes one of the most famous marathons in the world. While the weather was lousy (95% humidity!), the race was excellent. The Course: The course begins on Charles Street between the Public Garden and the Common (if you've run the Tufts 10k, it's the same start/finish). The course goes out to BU on Commonwealth Ave. and Bay State Road, then features a hairpin turn at the 5k mark to return via Comm Ave. I never realized until I ran this race, but Comm Ave is pretty dang hilly along the BU campus. They have a timing mat in advance of the finish line that allows the emcee to announce runners as they cross--pretty cool. I don't know if they announced me because I was too busy looking for a place to lay down and die (see: 95% humidity). The course also featured a few hallmarks of what I consider a well-organized race. Every mile was marked and featured a digital clock with the gun time. Water stations were plentiful and increased in frequency toward the end of the race. The race was completely chip timed. And they staggered the start beautifully to prevent course over-crowding. People self-selected into gates by anticipated pace, then the gates were released in three waves four minutes apart. This is the first race I've run with a hairpin where I did not have to walk the turn due to crowding. The Extras: If there's one place where the BAA 10k loses points, it's the post-race festivities. They did have bagels, bananas, and other snacks for runners, but on the whole there wasn't much to see and do after the race. In fairness, the reason to race is not to get a bunch of free crap from advertisers afterward, so I won't knock stars for that. I will say I wish water were available closer to the finish line, especially given the weather. The t-shirt, on the other hand, is fabulous. It's an Adidas performance shirt that has the texture of a Smartwool. Love it. The $40 entry fee was worth it just for this t-shirt.

It runs all the way down to Boston University, makes a u-turn and runs back to the start.

For all those wondering about the price, who aren't aware... sign up for an Active Account. They frequently send you emails and updates regarding future events. I received a promo for this and purchased tickets for $10 each! (Not including online fees.) Also, I've seen Groupon deals and if you prefer to wait until the very last min, I think they offer it you at $20 a bargain. Now, Let's talk about the three colored bubble boggs. Side note, I did overhear runners mentioning there were more boggs in the course during previous years... Anyhow, I was under the impression that there was one at every mile. Completely false! My best estimate of the first yellow bubble bogg was at 1/2 mile mark. This first one was rather disappointing. I'm not sure if it was meant as a tease or they did not turn on the machine all the way. There was not enough bubbles. The second green bubble bogg, maybe at the 1.5 mile? was a slightly better. I actually ran through some bubbles. The last pink bubble bogg was the best! (Guessing at 2.5ish, since we still had to race towards the finish line.) As a matter of fact, we stopped here to take all our pics. It was the most accurate representation of the race based on pictures on their website. So I have to give myself a pat on on the back here. I ran the entire 5k! Proud is an understatement! If you survive and make it to the finish line lol, there is a "Dance Party." This was probably the highlight of the event! There was a DJ to get you grooving. And they even had two cannons shooting bubbles. It was so much fun! Felt like I was in a a foam party. I gave them an extra star based on this ;-)

    I participated in the Bubble Run 5K in Brockton, MA. My main complaint was the day before, when…read morepicking up my bib packet. There were no signs telling where to go (other than the Gate number) and I drove around several times before I found the registration booths. The run itself was a lot of fun - all the bubble machines were working, and each station had colored bubbles; pink, green and blue. Be warned - your shoes get very wet and muddy! The finisher's medals were a little flimsy - not the best quality. I was a little disappointed in the "after-party" - there were no vendors, free samples or photo ops like at other 5Ks. Just a DJ with bubble cannons. But the bubbles were fun and the photos were priceless. For the $12 that it cost me (plus $10 parking) it was worth it.

The race took…read moreplace in a downpour, and kudos to the volunteers and organizers for making sure water stops, medical tents, and finish line were all fully staffed despite the horrible weather. As Stephanie mentioned in her review, a good number of the bands who were supposed to play along the course didn't show up. I do blame them. The bands had tent coverage, and the ones who were there seemed well protected from the weather. Part of the allure of this race was the live entertainment and it was basically missing for the middle third of the course. Boo to the bands who can't handle bad weather. Don't sign up to play at this sort of event if you won't show up in rain. On the flip side, an extra YAY for the bands who did play. It was cool to be serenaded with live music throughout the course. And it was great to see so many Providence residents out on their porches cheering--and local cheerleading squads organized at several points on the route! The course itself was definitely a good one, although hillier in the second half than I'd expected. A steep uphill to the finish felt a bit cruel. Still, I appreciated long straightaways along gorgeous tree-lined streets. Mile markers were clearly placed with digital clocks recording the race time, and time was captured at the 5k, 10k, 10m, and 12m marks. The wave start was also extremely well-planned and resulted in a fairly non-crowded course, although we were delayed in starting about 20 minutes due to some sort of street congestion. Unfortunately one consequence of the torrential rain was huge puddles along the course, sometimes unavoidable. Even my wicking socks couldn't prevent some nasty blisters from soaked footwear. Finally, the all important issue of THE RACE T-SHIRT: Short-sleeved, navy blue, technical tee with an understated almost nautical logo. Unfortunately they are cut for men and run a bit large, so mine is pretty long on me, but I think this will be a nice addition to my running collection. I'd suggest getting some ladies' shirts next time--the race costs enough. Overall, this wasn't a bad little race. I'd do it again next year, but definitely pray for sun.

Whereas others lament the rain, I loved it and was hoping for the same this time (2012). Instead we were greeted with low to mid 70's -- equally good weather -- and the benefit of hearing the headliner band among others. Add to this that the city of Providence, made the weekend a festive one with Water Fire and evening entertainment -- something I missed by one week last year -- great move, there. I love the course -- it's a good mix of easy and challenging and offers different views of the city for one who is not a local (I come fr CA). There is nothing like finishing a race all "Rocky" status while running the last point one mile up to the State House. Even though it was my 2nd time running this, I still welled up a bit....just don't ask me about my finishing time :\ ...maybe that was the real source of my tears. lol.
