“Course was very nice. Event starting times were communicated incorrectly.”

“They write that the race will start 08:35 but when i reach there location they orady start at 08:00 , so i run alone.”

“The running track was muddy and not comfortable to run. ”

“Most of the run track is good but some Km difficult to run normally ”

“Was a nice event in a great location but the boardwalk section was very narrow for the amount of runners. Marshals were also very poor at keeping the slower runners to one side to allow faster runners through. ”

“The scenery was breath-taking but the track was not designed for running.”

“The start time for the 10k run was incorrect on the website and registration page. On the day that race started earlier. The trail was not smooth and some parts were slippery. The location was hard to find and it was not very organised. ”

“No details or cerrificates were provided”

“Great organizing and amazing running community!”

“Very well organized and conducted. Well planned route to enjoy the scenic beauty. Volunteers did a great job encouraging us to run. Water and refreshments provided to help us. Delightful experience being a part of a huge group for fitness. ”

“good experience at good place and amazing weather ”

“The rout was good. However the change the timing for the 10km from 8:30 to 8:00 on the morning. This change was effecting us by start the race after 8:00.”

“I was not happy with the last minute change of start times for the races as both my husband and I entered the 3 and 10k and had our daughter with us. He was supposed to start at 8:20am and I was to start at 8:35am but due to last minute changes, we had no childcare options which was not a great situation to be in. ”

“The race started earlier than announced by email..”

“تم تغيير وقت انطلاقة الفئات صباحاً كنا سنتصادم مع الفئات الصغيرة في السباق مما عرقلنا بالتوقيت للمنافسة مع زملائنا دخول سيارة اجره مكان نهاية السباق الميداليه يوجد بها اماكن الصبغ متطاير مما لا يليق بسمعة أبوظبي مما يتيح لنا المحافظة عليها لمده اطول ”

“Considering the sensitivity level of environmental friendly for the event location, there should have more trash bins and standby garbage man. The timing of the event was changed without even a proper notice, i did not receive an email! This is the second event that this happens. The parking was totally insufficient, there should be a 2nd parking. I drove extra 19km for a U-turn, the gps took me to a different road. There were two points for people coming from DXB, and this wasnt mentioned.”

“The starting time for the various distances was changed at the last minute, that is not helpful. The wooden walkway for the last 1km was damp and slippery, not suitable for events with a large number of participants. ”

“The track was trail and difficult ”

“i was sick night before and i want my refund. im 12 years old and this is my dad typing. ”

“Well-arranged, good monitoring, marshal placement and assistance, water stations thoughtfully located. Only could be better communication for change in timings for 10km group and better managing of award ceremony, it was delayed and took long time.”

“The location was stunning. The location was not suitable fora serious run- the path had too many sharp turns.”

“It was an amazing experience with respect to me ! The veiws are very nice & the area of running I like it ! ”

“On the website, the 10km run started at 8h35. But actually, the run startrd at 8h00. ”

“Nothing I liked the event organization ”

“The race track was very bad. ”

“Thank you very much 111”

“شكرًا بس في بعض العتب المحب 1- بخصوص الميديا كانها قديمه 2- عتبي على المنظمتين دخول سيارة بممر المرثون اول مره اشوف مثل هذا الحمدلله الله ستر ما كان في اي متسابق في الوقت نفسه لا تنسون متسابقين اطفال معانا أرجو منكم الاهتمام اكثر 3- أرجو الاترام بالتوفيق إختلفت التواقين بأخر لحظة وأشكر وجزاكم الله آلف خير ”

“The race started not as per the plan”

“The advanced 10 kilo race started and when I reached the gate I knew that the time had changed and I was asked to start and the timing will be calculated from the beginning of the race and after finishing it turned out that 20 minutes were calculated in the first loop. The relative had to coordinate with him regarding preparation and breakfast meals, so that he would be of a high standard Bast regard. Saeed al remeithi 0506424219”

“Excellent location, arrangement and beautiful nature. To enhance the running experience you can add signs for distances in each route, path to be wider (too crowded), or send participants in waves, more garbage ben to be allocated in parking area and have some shaded areas in the venue for participants. ”

“It was a great "!”

“We did not know that the track is not paved, and at the finish line there are furnished bumps that we did not know about, or that there was no indication of the height, and I hope that in the coming occasions it will be better and more information in the race”

“Well organized but I didn’t enjoy the terrain. Markers along the track would have been appreciated. Would like to see a run on a flatter surface next time. ”

“Amazing venue. Only pity was the 10k start, as it was moved earlier, some missed the start.”

“Running track wet & dangerous ”

“nice race but bad organization. The start of the 10 km was announced at 8:35 am on the email; but it was given much earlier...”

“Conflicting timing according to email and what really occurred. Marshals did not know the mileage they were at and there was no signs of mileage. 50 -89 prize distribution was a big age group to compare a 50 year old and a 65 year old or even 89”

“Venue was good, and arrangements were up to the mark. At the end, some of the refreshments (Pocari Sweat) were over. Therefore, we had to manage with some fruit and water. ”

“very nice location a bit difficult to run due the path is so narrow, in general it was very nice experience and very well organised ”

“The track was very slippery and narrow, and there were too many sharp edges. And it was super crowded and a lot of people pushing each other. It was scary to see some people falling down and getting injured ? Plus they switched the starting time for the starting of 5km and I didn't know that so I started my race more that 3 minutes behind them which was annoying to run by my self. ”

“Well organised event at a fabulous location ”

“it was a great experience and wonderful sight seeing place ”

“The race time for the 10 km group was changed at last minute without informing us. The running time mentioned on the website and the certificate are by far not correct.”

“I was all set to start the 10k race at 8:35am but when I arrived at 7:50am I discovered (from another participant) that the start time had been changed to 8:00am. This caused me to rush my warm up and pre-race routine and made for an unsettling start. Beyond that, the race was very well organised, well marshaled, had the right amount of water stations and first aid availability and was above all a very scenic and enjoyable route! However, not the best route to set a PB.”

“The run was excellent except for the direction to the place was confusing. Also the run schedule that happened at the last minute o was confusing as well. Thank you for your efforts ”

“Thank you very much ?”

“موقع جميل ولكن مكان سباق جري غير مهيأ للجري وذلك بسبب وجري أولا في ساحة رمليه وبعدها ساحه خشبيه وكان هناك نزلاقات كثيره من متسابقين أما بخصوص تنظيم جيد ”

“we need more social activities like this awsum marathon ”

“If they could take the deep sand from the way in the 10 km, it would be helpful ”

“الموقع جميييل جدا والتنظيم رائع جدا لكن المسار الخشبي فيه انحناءات شديدة ”

“there should be uniform for attendees :)”

“Good location, great view and I had fun”

“The 10km time was changed so I didn't have time to warm up but was a great scenic run with a lovely atmosphere ”

“Change run time was not a good idea. As i started late and the record time was not accurate. Also, it will be better to choose flat and open area for the race ”

“Lucky I arrive early at 810 for my 5 klms race which was supposed to start at 830am, I had to run from the car park in order to join the starting of the 5 klms race, please let us know by sms if the race will start earlier !”

“There was no tshirt given, I got no finish line picture and the 10k was supposed to start at 8:35am but when I arrived at 7:55am it was starting at 8am! ”

“Fantastic setting, however guys… you changed the start of the race and could not tell us?? I was there well in advance and the start if the race was 30 minutes earlier while we went to the car to drop a sweater.. the time chip gave me 7 minutes more!!! Anyway still an stunning race”

“Very well organized in spite of the starting time that changed.”

“* Amazing place but running on wet wood was dangerous. I know some people were injured. * Please avoid last minute changes to the plan. Several 10km runners were late * Keep more than one microphone available in case it malfunctioned. * More signs are required to guide the runners as the volunteers can sometimes be confused. * Water stops were perfect keep it up! * Podium is too late. Winners finish early so there's no need to wait for so long. Many people left and the podium was often empty.”

“5km race timing must be at 8:30 AM as per your plan, we surprised the race started at 8:15 am not as your schedule plan. Appreciate to have more accuracy please as we reached almost 8:15 because we lost our way to reach this location. Regards ”

“Beautiful route and excellent organization.”

“Fantastic scenery. However, prizes should be given to first finishers in all categories. You cannot just look for overall. As runners ages go from 10 to 80 sometimes. It is not fair for runners. You have to re-evaluate the prizes distribution. Do you think that someone who is 80 can be first overall????”

“I really enjoyed. It would be great to have more non pavement running events! Start before scheduled time surprised me ”

“it was a great event and a beautiful place. looking forward for the next event.”

“The change of times threw me but absolutely amazing views and a very memorable experience- thank you! ”

“Nice course qnd good organisation but the last minute time change was pain”

“Should have let us know about the change in the event schedule earlier as well as organised the prize distribution and microphone system better. Overall good though”

“Nice course but shifting start time last minute is not ok”

“Regarding the track was not that much good”

“Track was not running friendly. ”

“10 k start was announced and communicated at 8.35 but real start was at 8.00. This is not admisible.”

“As per chip my result is wrong ...its showing first 0.63 k I ruined in 15 muintes and the rest race time 4.30 per kilometer meter...and I'm profetional runner ...second they mentioned the 10 k race will start at 8.35 am..but started too early...can you double check my results I'm sure u will find the mistake...in your time chip machine...”

“The race was a lovely location and marshalling etc was good, but the preparation was poor, with last minute changes to the running order. The running surface was very poor, though the recent rain was probably to blame. Lastly there was no t-shirt, which is a lovely reminder and that was disappointing.”

“All super!!! I hope next time I will for 10 km”

“Amazing place but to change the time !!!”

“Beautiful run through nature! I loved it!”

“The departure time changed at the last minute. So we missed the departure”

“The messages sent to us all indicated a certain sequence of starting times. At the event itself, the exact opposite sequence was followed. This is very confusing. You must look at this! The rest was great.”

“Well run, beautiful venue, fun outing for our family ”

“Last minute change of starting time is not ideal, especially when the race tracks are hard to locate in the first place”

“Great race and a beautiful course BUT it would have been much better if runners knew the surface was mainly on sandy track”

“It was an amazing place, and all settling superb. We enjoyed the race and all ever. We will hope like these events in future also thank you ”

“Good overall! This was a nice race with a pleasant track. Only 2 remarks : - could have been great to get a tee-shirt of the race - why did you change the timings of the races departures at the last minute??? Because of that we missed the departure of the 5km. Really a strange decision! ”

“The location was amazing, number of participant was decent compared to the track The only thing was the communication of event schedule didn’t match the reality and I was lucky I showed up early or else I would have missed my slot ”

“Well organised fun and challenging 10k ”

“Everything was incredible, hope next time we start up on line 5 minutes prior to race without delay on decided start time ”

“No well organised. The time given by the organisers on the race information or on the Premier online website for the 5 km running started earliest than the stipulated time, it was supposed 08:30 am. After I finished my 5 km my chip time and the results was different comparing with my time on my watch amd phone. Instead of 22:16 minutes my time was 29:04 minutes. Where the 7 minutes came from. Kindly reply on this email [email protected]. Hope a valid reason about what happened. ”

“Amazing work and great job ”

“Beautiful route Loved it Can't wait for next run ”

“Change of race schedule at last minute. It was dangerous to have kids on the boardwalk completing 1km while 10k runners pushing and knocking over kids and families ”

“Track was slippery and not safe ”

“Amazing hopefully will have the next marathon soon ”
