• Thank you for putting on an amazing marathon yesterday. It was my 10th marathon but my first in Edmonton and I loved every minute of it. It was an exceptionally well organized event, and the course was perfect for a marathon. I will be spreading the word about this event!
   
• I thought the event was extremely well organized. All staff and volunteers were amazing! Communication from you was always prompt and pleasant. The course was great and, all together, it made my first marathon attempt a really enjoyable experience. Thank-you!
   
• Great race, I had a personal best!
   
• Great job on the organizing!, I loved the new course,volunteers were great. lots of aid stations and supporters. I being one of the "more senior" runners noticed that the published finishing times stop at approx. 4hrs 51mins. are you going to update the rest of our "back of the pack" times. Thanks
   
• Thanks so much. All of the group from the Running Room Westhills Calgary had a great time and we were all smiling and so proud at the end of the race! Our coach Jennette Coates was the reason we had great success...and the flat course didn't hurt.
   
• Thanks so much again. Can't wait for next year!

• Thanks... Had such a great time. Excellent organization and great people. My nephew Dylan Snadhu came second to last in over 7 hours and your crew stayed open for him, even kept the pancake and eggs warm so he could eat. Classy all the way around.
   
• First class event today. I ran the half, was very impressed with the course, fast as advertised. Great start and finish location. Will definitely bring more runners from our club in Calgary next year! Well Done and thanks to a great bunch of volunteers!!
   
• My Dad and I didn't find the smoke to be a bother one bit, and I shaved a whole 13 minutes from my PB, so the race course was obviously perfect for us. Thanks again, and thank goodness for the little bit of rain before the race!
   
• Way to go on these races! I ran the 10km & Half and you did a great job with both the course and the running venue.
   
• Yesterday was the first 5K I have ever done and I throughly enjoyed it. I thought the race was very well organized
   
• Thank you Edmonton for the great run!! The new venue was good and you ran an excellent event. I should mention however that "suddenly fast and flat" became suddenly hilly and challenging in the Highlands!! Thanks to all the volunteers especially John the 4:30 bunny. I did a personal best and both my husband and I qualified for Boston. Thank you again.
   
• As a participant in this past weekend’s race, I wanted to extend kudos and thanks to whoever was responsible for organizing the volunteers for the event. It was so encouraging to have them cheering racers on to keep us going throughout the race. Also big thanks to EPS for keeping us safe with traffic control.
   
• Well done, can’t wait until next year’s event!
   
• Really enjoyed the weekend. Had a great day at the Kids race, really enjoyed the extra touches such as pony rides, petting zoo, face painting etc. The decathlon was a good idea as well.
   
• Loved the course Sunday!! Finally a Boston qualifier!!
