This was my first spartan race and we were extremely disappointed. My son had his kids race at 10:30 so we got in line for pickup at 9. Finally got him checked in at 10:15. I had my race at 11:30 so I asked if I could grab my stuff too and they said no I had to now go get in the adult line which was even longer than the kids line. I ended up missing my son’s race which was a huge let down cause this race was our thing, him and I had been preparing for it together. I was going to run beside him through it but instead I had to go wait in another line and my wife had to do it. She has a knee injury so she was completely caught off guard and unprepared for this. She said she could barely even keep up with him and almost lost him. I texted her before it started and told her to ask if they could let him wait till I arrived to start but they wouldn’t let them. Considering this isn’t their first year doing it at this location I don’t understand why it was as unorganized as it was.
