“Great way to 'start' the yearly 'running' events calendar! ”
“Start and finish line was chaotic with the various on-going race distances and spectators not segregated. ”
“Need a timing chip to log my 10 hrs endurance run ”
“Ran the ten hour challenge and it was a good event. Marble is not the best surface for an Ultra but we knew that at the begining. Great event well run and thanks for the gels. Mike”
“Unique and very nice race. A lot of bends and U-turns breaks a bit your pace but is inevitable and is only a small minor.”
“Thought it was great to run inside for a change well done to the ALOFT hotel!”
“Well organised and for a great cause, the Aloft Charity Run was enjoyed by the whole family regardless of whether than ran or not. The jumping castle was a bit hit with the kids too. We will be back next year.”
“Great morning - registration was slow, the run was great, but the finish a little confusing! ”
“It was a very good experience.I have never run before in an hotel.So i thouroughly enjoyed it and hands off to the organizers.”
“I am just preparing myself for my first halfmarathon. I could really practice for this upcoming event today. A few days ago, I had to run 12k outside but I managed only 7k because of the heat und humidity. Today, I managed to run 12k and faster! We also did the 2k run with our 4 year old son. This is the only approvement I can suggest; please provide T shirts for the little ones and maybe a medal.”
“Good organisation, good staff (not enough...) but is missing a place to leave runners bags under surveillance of staff... Are missing some more details (like free car park facility...) and an after run "refreshment". But it was a very good pleasure to be part of this event ! Thanks a lot ! ”
“Organisation at registration desk needed more staff and better knowledge. I booked a hotel room through the online registration process but the hotel had no knowledge of my booking. This took some time to sort out and was very annoying. ”
“This was the first time I was involved in this event. BUt t will not be the last. It was very well organized and well run. Kudos to the organizing committee!!!”
“Paid parking was a big dissapoitment after spending 150 dhs on registration. No information was available before the race on procedures and times of race pack collection. Paper number tags do not work - they get damaged and soaked with sweat.”
“At your next race I would like to see 'donation' boxes where participants can put items from the race giveaways that they don't want. Unwanted giveaways could then be donated to a good cause. For example, of all the Aloft Hotel hats given away today, I would suspect a vast majority of them will not be worn by participants and simply be thrown out or collect dust. Unwanted hats would be better off donated to a charity that gives to labour camps for example.”
