Rude Volunteers

I enjoyed this race; it was a fun local event. My only issue with the entire event was the women who were handing out medals. I approached the stand where the medals were and asked if I could have one (in every other race I've participated in I have gotten a participation medal). The woman at the stand told me the medals were for winners only and asked if I was a winner; when I said I wasn't she laughed in my face and said there "weren't participation trophies". I was not upset about not getting a medal but rather the way I was laughed at and treated by this volunteer. This really soured the whole thing for me and left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope next year the volunteers who aren't running can be kinder and more considerate.
