“Great course and marshalling! - Great course and water stations worked really well. Would have been good to have a drink and banana or something at the end as it's a tough run. Not sure how much of the registration fee goes to charity? Timing ok - hard to compete with championchip. How accurate were the km markers?”

“Interesting course - This was a fun course to run around and the marshalling, water stations, organisation, etc. were great. I'm sure there's a valid reason for the timing of the event, but if it could be any earlier, even just an hour or so, I know my kids would have loved to do the 2.5km run. But alas, they're were asleep.”

“Was wonderful and different - I loved the novelty of the course and the event but would suggest for us slower runners an alternative energy source such as bananas etc as I was out there for three hours and did feel the effects of lack of food. Gels I find are really difficult to get down when already feeling hungry. Otherwise what a great event and next year will put way more training in!!”

“Another successful year.... - Although recorded as a "DNF"- I still am happy that I was able to complete one more lap (total 4) than 2013 in just over 30 minutes.... Both years without as much (any) training time outside. I (to only) complete as many laps as I am still "happy"- perhaps I am in need of a BROOKS "Run Happy" shirt/hat, or a different attitude. I am always impressed at the organisation/ability of local race originsers AND participants.”

“A well-organised for a great cause. - I enjoyed the race, couldnt' see, but that's just my blindness. I would suggest starting it a bit earlier, say, 6pm? Well done all the organisers and especially the marshals who did a great job encouraging us along the way.”

“Great event - awesome course - Great venue, course and marshalling!! please consider using chip timing next time to avoid confusion with results. there could have been some food included in the registration price (at least a sandwich). AED 30 for a shawarma and AED 5 for a banana is too much. some runners did not get a shirt.”

“A fun run that should mature and get better - Great attitude from supporters; some dynamite prizes. Course perhaps needs to vary - 6 times round a bit boring. Also, name of race terribly confusing. Forget this 'Kilo' thing; a marathon, or half marathon should be just that. No description of what this means on the registration site. I found out too late I had signed up for the wrong race. But big thank you for changing me halfway through the run Age categories and/or finishers medal would have been nice. Big thank you overall,”

“Thank for the feedback. The KILO refers to the metric measurement of a marathon and is a popular play in other countries Being that a marathon is 26.2 miles and hence a kilomarathon is 26.2km”

“So glad I made the journey! A Class Act. - Had doubts about even going (due to injury) but felt ready to give it a go, especially as it was laps and I always had the DNF option. Pre-race atmosphere really got me up for it and the surroundings were beautiful. After the first lap it was evident that this was a really well thought out course with inclines, variation of surfaces and drink stations at regular intervals. What really made it for me was the fabulous support throughout which was so important in getting me round.”

“Expensive for what it was - I loved the layout of the course and the mix of terrains kept it interesting. Given the cost to enter the race, I would have expected free food and sports drinks at the finish line. That's my only complaint. Otherwise it was a great race in a very nice venue. ”

“A great moment. - It would be good to use the premier timing chip...”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 26.10.2014
“Hi Stephane, Thank for your feedback. As this is and will remain a fund raising run for the Road to Awareness unfortunately the costs of providing chip timing are too great for the size of the field of runners.”

“Really enjoyable, great course. - Fantastic course, a great opportunity to run on a variety of surfaces. Well organized, friendly family atmosphere, lovely venue and so nice to run in the evening and not early morning. I wish we didn't have to wait a whole year to do it again, it would be great to have more runs like this. Thank you!”
