- On the run, the first out and back section wasn't well marked which side of the road runners in each direction should be on and it was chaos (compounded by the turnaround sign having the arrow in the incorrect direction).
Agree with your observations, with the following two notes.
You were probably at the pointy end. By the time I (along with the rest of the MOP) made it to the off ramp, there was a police vehicle there with its lights on and the officer directing us to take the exit. On that part of the run, there were several volunteers shouting, telling us to run on the left side, and everyone seemed to have figured this out by then anyway. (I don't remember looking at the arrow at the turnaround.)
Could be these were issues no one had foreseen and they were addressed "on the fly"?
