That's what the organizers are supposedly paying for right? The whole purpose of the finish chute is t maintain your finish position so that the times on the finish machine can be matched to a bib.<br /><br />If I were you, I would have made some pumpkin pancakes.Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-69823290687466995762009-10-26T19:18:02.257-07:002009-10-26T19:18:02.257-07:00Good job on the 5k!!!

Sounds like the organizers weren't quite as organized as they could be. I've done nighttime races and they are usually a lot of fun, but never the obstacle course you had.
