Unseasonable warmth and the organizers’ failure to plan for that even knowing the forecast in advance. The biggest issue was lack of water. Water/Gatorade stops were advertised to be every mile or so but there was NO water till mile 7… and they ran out of cups at every station past mile 7.

There was a water stop somewhere around mile 2-3 from what I remember.

FWIW I thought the race was reasonably well organized and staffed. I took water at every stop and was glad I did so. Just speculating, but runners themselves may not have been prepared for the warm weather and may have thought they could do without slowing down for water.
