“Very ood event.g - Overall it was pleasant and well organized. Except for the start as it was a manual start. The buffet was very good in terms of variety, quality and service .The marshals were dispersed on the track which was good for people who faced problems.”

“Always love Saucony tshirt, but very cheap medal! - Poor start organization. No sign whatsoever. No time mat at the start line, hence no net time. Lack of drink stations. The GPS on my running watch and mobile phone showed the finish line is about 100-150m over 10k. The rest is just average. Nothing special.”

“A great community initiative - This was my first time in this race and it was great to see so many accomplished runners. A very well organised event. It was slightly warm, perhaps the race can be started earlier?”

“A runners' event.... - ...an iconic event in the running calendar. Not a PB course for sure but different to all of the other Dubai events. It's great to run the Autodrome in race conditions and the whole thing has a special atmosphere of its own.”

“Well organized - Overall it was ok, but i can still see some cutting the run, like cutting bends. they should be rated "did not finish"DNF because it is unfair to those who went thru everything. can't help it if some people are stubborn. overall, congratulations! well organized with visible safety team and food and refreshments right after plus medals and shirts and awards after. well done! keep up the good work!”

“Challenging but fun - Great to run the autodrome again. Well organized event but missing the times when results announced - not that I was anywhere near winning! But the after even breakfast is a good social gathering.”

“Great race very well organised and lots of goodies - Really well organised race- good pre race directions and easy number collection, delicious and plentiful post race breskfast loads of lovely prizes and a nice fitting technical t shirt. The race itself was really good fun- running round the autodrome and a nice touch starting the kids race first so we could cheer them on. My only suggestion would be to start the race with " runners start your engines" rather than "ready, set,go"! ”

“One of the best events in the year - Excellent organization and fantastic buffet, great t-shirts. Only downside was an apparent high number of finishers shown as DNF (including myself) where the chip was not picked up at the Finish line which is disappointing. There were 25 DNFs shown which is unusually high I think?”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 15.03.2014
“I know of one case where a runner ran with the chip in his pocket instead of on his shoe. one runner collapsed at 8 k and failed to finish, a girl did one lap only and one chip was found on the course. I guess that there were others.”

“Disappointed with the lack of communications - Never received a t-shirt for the event, which was made clear when joining the event. Lack of marshals when arrival no clear briefing and no t-shirt. I will not enter this event again. ”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 15.03.2014
“I am very sorry you didn't receive a tee shirt from the event. We had a dedicated area in the events room upstairs where the refreshments were laid out after the race. If you e-mail us with your details I will try and accommodate you with a shirt although we don't have all sizes left”

“Great Event overall - Well organised event, and refreshments after were much better than expected. The only I could complain about was the course and KM markings were not accurate. But overall it was great race. ”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 15.03.2014
“The course has been measured by a certified race referee using the recognized equipment, meticulously following the international handbook. This involved calibrating and measuring the course at a precise temperature 3 times over. I would be interested in knowing the method you used to determine that is was not accurate. ”

“Well Organised, well done Road Runners. - Another great event, thank you. Love the course, but the hills are a killer on the legs, is there any downhill sections?? Well supported and sponsored, breakfast is always a hit, and keeps the crowd back to applaud the winners. Hope the guy the paramedics attended is ok.”

“Great race, thanks to all. - A start line wouldn't have gone amiss! Other than that, great race on a testing course, with excellent organisation. Easy to find, park etc and it always seems to start on time. Massive thanks to Graham for organising, and to Carol, Martin and all the other marshalls.”
