.......Kerry, what are you saying????? You mean "Little Elves" don't magically appear on Friday night and take care of everything!!????
Hang in there Kerry, please keep in mind that most people have no idea what all is involved with putting on a road race and it's related events.
Especially when viewed in the context of this is NOT your "job", this is not how you make your living.....the ATR as well as all of the other local road races are put on with the VOLUNTARY time, sweat, aggrevation, etc. of those who selflessly try to organize a quality event.
Naturally there will always be snafus along the way, but by and large the volunteers of the PCPs do a FANTASTIC job!!! I think you would find that the majority of people here are very thankful for all of the hard work that the Pacers and the ATR Committee put into this and other races....we (those outside of that committee circle) are probably guilty of not letting that gratitude be known as much as we should.
P.S. Remember Kerry, no matter how hard you try......you will never please everyone;)
