Below is a sample of some of the data and suggestions we have received recently and the changes/enhancements made to the Mini-Marathon based on feedback from participants:
The 500 Festival received feedback that it was difficult to find things in rest and recovery area. RESULT: We increased the number of “street sign” directional signage and the number of park layout maps located in the rest and recovery area.
Requests had been made by the Mini-Marathon participants for more entertainment on the course. RESULT: We significantly increased the number to over 120 entertainment groups and cheer squads.
Following the 2004 race we asked participants if the start time of the Mini-Marathon should be changed or remain at 8 a.m. Sixty-three(63) percent preferred a start time to be 7:30 or earlier. RESULT: The start time for the 2005 Mini-Marathon was 30 minutes earlier, beginning at 7:30 a.m.
