Harry Potter Fun Run 5K and Walk Where & When
Most Helpful Review
Terribly Organized Event
WORST run/walk event!Check-in station was 2 hour wait.Runners and walkers started same time creating huge bottleneck.Roads not blocked off, everyone crammed together on sidewalks.Tried to pick up tshirts after the race but told they ran out. New shirts supposed to be mailed out - never received after multiple attempts to contact the organizer! No excuse for poor organization/mishandling, especially if it's now on to the THIRD ANNUAL event!

Great event for an awesome cause
Every year this event gets better and better. Can't wait to see what 2018 brings.
Never Again
My son and I drove over 2.5 hours to do this race. We were some of the last to cross and told the medals- which we were GUARANTEED since we signed up early, were all gone. My son was extremely disappointed. Thanksgiving has now passed and no medal. It was also hard to figure out where things were for those of us not familiar with the town. I'm very disappointed with this event. We spent a lot of money to be taken like this. Shame on the store and organizers!
