“Confusion with the initial route to go to parking and eventually we reached the venue but the walk from the parking was long because the doors connecting the two sections of the mall were locked so we had to take a longer walk through the mall. We only just made it in time, did not get enough time to change into t shirt. Also, the race start was rushed and one could not hear what was being said sure to lots of wind. Otherwise all good!”

“I would have liked more communication before the event related to packet pick up/day of the race events. The information about certain race details, including the times of each race, packet pick up, shirt pick up, and bib number changed a few days before the race and I didn't see all the changes until I went to the website and saw them. The medals also seem a bit on the cheap side since they just had a sticker on them. ”

“The route was great, kind of a really sharp turn but its tolerable. Refreshments were placed perfectly! Two things that bothered me is 1. I dont run for medals, but when a medal shows its been given no thought or effort, I speak for other runners as well, it feels disrespectful. and 2. The event information needed more details where exactly the race was starting because galleria mall main door is almost anonymous. ”

“No clear sign for cars, no signs to reach the village, ....lack of signs. Disorganised and difficult to find the stations for pip, t-shirt.... During race, cars were using roads next to runners (dangerous), water stations should be more. Fruits station was in village with no clear signs to let runners know about it. People were frustrated to fing GF in Galaria to reach village. 60+ should be a separate category. ”

The race village was chaotic, could not find my bib and no pins with it. Maybe a little more organization would have been better. ”

“Thank you for an amazing time at the Cancer Run. Everything was a wow. The race course was fabulous. Timing of 07:00 was excellent. Loved the coloured tee's. Ambience was just perfect. My runner friend of 50 was judged against me at 63, that's not fair hence a 9 on the survey. Pls do not use the Zubail Island until the work is finished. its risky on the stones and one can twist their ankle in the sand. Timing of 8am too was too late for a run to start.”

It was great seeing so many familiar faces. I appreciated the early start time, it meant that by the time the run was over, it was still early enough in the day to enjoy the rest of the weekend.

“I was one of the participants who had incorrect info that the 3 km started at 8:00am. thank you for letting me run even though I was late. However, directions to the event and where to park were light - especially if someone was new to Abu Dhabi. Even the signs to parking were not clear once on the island. Also, is the timing correct? it appears that my total run time is actually the time I started the race (crossed the start line) after the clock started running - not my actual running time.”

It seemed like i was not the only one who recieved the wrong time as i met other people the same. After initially being told i cant race as it was too late, a organiser let me take part which i was very thankful for. It was a great run, very well organised otherwise. Looking forward to the next one if there are more ”

“Of all the races I’ve attended for the past years, this is a little but un-organized. There is ni signage on when to queue for mubadala/cleveland employee. It took me 3x to be in different queue just to get the bib plus, the race distance is more than what is opt to. 5k or 10k—there is like 300-500m extra. Overall, thankful for the event and its volunteers. ”
