Comment from the Event Organizer - 02.05.2014
“General Feedback from comments: Race results were posted in the afternoon of raceday to the DDRR facebook page. We stated where results would be posted on pre race comms, which were emailed to all participants. Water - we will ensure marshalls get a nudge to be faster on the next run. With regards to water in cups, bottles, buckets or fire hydrants.. we get comments about each from differing participants. Everyone has their own preference. Re T Shirts, your size request is from premier, not DDRR.”

“The event started on time. - The run or marathon should be held during winter. It's difficult to run during summer. ”

“Nice, friendly and warm atmosphere - It was my pleasure to be part again from this nicely organized event full of positive energy from the organizers to the participants. This time I have a remark to the water station guys. They need to work faster in order to supply faster runners. I've seen my fellow runners suffering to grab a cup as it was not offered in time. I missed one too. This especially goes for 1st water station. There was also positive example in the guy at the roundabout turn was managing to serve everybody on time ”

“Well organized, enjoyable 10km - This was my first desert road run and very enjoyable, extremely hot! Start was well organized and pre event coms were good, I will be back for the next race. Event giveaways not much but that is reflected in the low entry fee. ”

“Good experience - Overall the event was successful. In the future if the track can be a start to finish strait line and not the nascar like track, that will help.”

“Good event --- The weather is too hot - I enjoyed the run... but it would have been better if it started @ 6:00 instead of 7:00. I noticed that there were no ambulance car, which was surprising given the hot weather. Thank you for the good event, Aymane”

“Hot! - Only arrived from London yesterday and leave again on Tuesday but a very nice way to spend my day off. Good online registration - I couldn't have attended otherwise. Temperature was a killer but I sort of expected that. Nice experience, would recommend it to any visitors considering giving it a go.”

“Good very good I enjoyed to much - Dear team there should be 5min gape between 10&3km kindly mention the turning point clearly for all like 3km and 10km there should be visible or otherwise you have to appoint one person that should tell to please 3km turn from here and 10km go head.”

“Good first time experience - I would appreciate water fountains on the track because of the hot weather, i noticed many hydrants there so it would be possible in the future Couldnt find the printed results after race in the area of the race and also on any website immediately when I arrived home. ”

“Good race - Good, fun race. Definitely enjoyed it. What about starting it 30 minutes earlier? The sun is up and it would be cooler. The water stations were plentiful (Thank you!) but often times water wasn't available as the people working the stations let the water run out. Some additional instruction to those working the water stations, from someone who has run a race before, would be helpful. Overall enjoyed it and would do it again.”

“Decent race. - The water stations needed better preparation. I nearly missed water on one because the guys working there weren't ready, mostly because they weren't doing their job and just standing there. I had to yell ahead. Almost missed the water.”

“Enjoyed this raced - Really enjoyed the race this morning. Massive improvement on organisation (nice to have a proper start/finish line!) so thanks to organisers. A couple of small things: -Cups are no use for water; it goes everywhere except in your mouth! The small containers with the foil lids are much better. - Could the 3k start later? Didn't really appreciate having my path blocked at 6k by five people taking a group selfie! (yes, really) All in all though, great event, hope I can make the next one.”

“Tough route but v enjoyable - The only downside from the whole event was the poor drinking stations. It's v difficult to grab the plastic cup as you run, therefore bottles are essential. Plus would be nice to get energy drinks at least once. Otherwise great event.”
