Stopping the time is ridiculous especially when most smartwatches have elapsed time and moving time data. Seems like extra work for very little reward.

If you have run a world major or hard to get into race 5 times in a 7 year period, you should have to wait another three years before running it again. Let others have a chance to have the experience.

Boston Marathon should be a separate level in the world majors since it is so hard to get into. Allow Sydney as a WM (continue to keep the six star program) and put Boston in its own category, an elite category. (I will never qualify so I have zero skin in the game.)

Baby strollers do not belong in races.

Definitely needed more water stations especially with the high humidity. I’ve run multiple world majors and was told this race was on par with them. In my opinion, this race was definitely not.

Considering the location and target audience of this race, I was shocked that non-runners were allowed in the runner village and the security was kind of lax.

There should have been a bigger gap between the bikes and runner waves. Also, there should be some time gaps between the corrals to help spread the runners out.

The electrolytes were pretty watered down which seems kind of useless in high heat/humidity.
