    7/2022 my husband and I signed up for a half marathon with Elite Events in ****** **, to take place on 10/8/22. We trained and paid the fees. On 9/28/23 Hurricane *** hit ** and caused damage to the area , so the race was cancelled. At that time, Elite Events offered that we could either run the race virtually, transfer (for a cost) to another race occurring in 2/2023, or defer it to another race. On 1/27/23, we chose to do the *********** Half Marathon in 2023. We were all set to complete this race, started training, regularly got emails from Elite Events with the date of 10/21/23. We booked a flight. On 9/24/23, we were finalizing plans, and the date of the race was missing from the website. We looked in our email and had a race dated 9/8/23 that had the 10/21/23 date on it. However, when clicking on the link in the email, the new date for the *********** race was set for 5/5/24. We were not notified of this change. We checked Elites Instagram and ******** and there were posts advertising the 10/21/23 *********** race as well as the 5/5/24 *********** race (attached is a photo from their Instagram posted on 8/17/23, when on 9/8/23 we got an email ((also attached)) that the October 21st race was still on). We submitted an online inquiry wondering what was going on as we were ready to make this trip in a few weeks specifically for this race. . I commented on an Instagram and ******** post asking for information and if I did not get that information, I requested a refund, and their response was to block me from both pages and delete the posts about the 10/21/23 race. There is no phone number listed on their website. The attempts I have made to contact them for a resolution have been this: online inquiry, responding to their email, Instagram/******** comment, and left a voicemail on 9/25/23. I have not received any response. The business has not tried to resolve the problem in any way and is blocking me from communicating with them.

    Exceptionally well-planned, wonderfully attended, and superbly supported event with great value! I participated in the ****** Fall Harvest Half Marathon and was pleasantly surprised by the meticulous planning. The organizers went above and beyond, with numerous helpful volunteers guiding participants at every turn. Despite the challenging weather conditions of 100% humidity and 80 degrees, the on-course support was outstanding, making the entire experience enjoyable.I felt reassured by the presence of attentive personnel ready to assist with any injuries or heat-related concerns along the route. The registration fee was more than justified, considering the high level of organization, participant support, and overall experience provided. Unlike other events, this one truly lived up to the title of a professional road race, and the scenic route through the community added to the charm.The variety of terrains, including well-maintained concrete paths and narrow, windy sidewalks, added an exciting element to the race. It's clear that the organizers have a wealth of experience in road races, and their expertise shone through. I highly recommend this event to anyone seeking a top-notch racing experience with a fantastic community atmosphere. The organizers strike the perfect balance between a competitive race and an enjoyable community event. Kudos to them for creating such a memorable experience!
