I give this event 2.5 because the event and staff were great. But i wasn't impressed by the 20km medal. It had nothing to do with running on it. It had a calendar on it saying happy new year! And the calendar date had last years days on it!!! I spoke with three staff about it and they said the manufacturer did them! What i think is last years race got cancelled and they have used them for this year. Not impressed
