Distances
~10K and Kids ~3K
Observations, updates and note to self
- Too many first-timer kids by themselves on the trails, without a guardian. Some clearly struggling and dehydrated. Mandate at least one guardian (signed up) for every two kids.
- Add a waterpoint for 3K.
- For the first time we had more 3K runners than 10K.
- Add more timekeepers for 3K - many runners finishing together, missed some numbers.
- 3K start time to start 30mins earlier than usual.
- Mention on the website that for 3K, only kids below 18 get medals and podium. 3K adults don't, in order to prevent the 3K from becoming a sprint distance.
- Brief runners about making the bib numbers visible at finish.
- Fastest upload of race photos and results till date.
- Far fewer people lost on trails than usual. Add more markings and marshals to further minimize this number.
- Use neon marking spray than the normal ones. Possibly change orange color to pink for better visibility.
- Give clear instructions to the driver. He missed picking up a henchman in the morning, costing 45mins of race set up time.
- Don't have a race right after a public holiday. Rushes pre-race print and admin work.
- Optimized the medals - used sticker prints instead of glossy. Amount of medal task decreased significantly.
- Purchase medals in bulk and print new stickers. Cuts down time consumed and hikes up the quality. Maybe print medal straps as well.
- Get a couple of tabs instead of laptop+monitor to display results. Pain in the butt to set it up, and can barely see in the sun.
- The laptop overheats, get something to cover it while timekeeping.
- Double-check startlist before sending bibs for print. The Gyawalis (our poster people) got handcrafted artisan bibs because I missed their name on the registration.
- Announce race date a few weeks in advance but open registrations no earlier than a week before the race. 22 people signed up but didn't show up.
- Overall, Thali race was one of the smoothest it has been for Snail Trail Series.
