It was a pretty cool concept when it was advertised. After all, who doesn't love the 90's? (Come on, boy bands, amazing and bright fashion, great tv shows?). Additionally, it was for a good cause also since it was supporting a hospital and all proceeds were donated to said organization. However as race day came closer, it was clear that there was a lack of organization when the race location was moved last minute and the details of bib pickup weren't given until last minute and there were a lack of directions to the race area.
Raceday was pretty cool. It was held in a very pretty section of Philadelphia (near Fairmount park). There were a plenty of people dressed in cool 90's clothing and there were 90's music playing. However, I must say, it was pretty disorganized. There wasn't really anyone announcing as to when the race started, people just migrated towards the starting area. There weren't any specific sections/corrals, which made it potentially an issue. When the race started, there was music, but as it went further, the music stopped for a long while. Additionally, my other issue is that they didn't give you a map of the race so you had to follow others or else be lost as to where you are running (it's not like the park is small either). Overall, the scenery was really pretty and definitely nice to run through. Although there really wasn't any water/aid stations along the run which was another downfall since it was really humid during the run.
Overall, it was a decent run with nice scenery, but the disorganization of the race really kept it from reaching the potential it could have been. Hopefully, if it continues, it will improve.
