OMG! I can't believe this. They are not going to offer the race people preregistered for and are now issuing partial refunds. WTF?!?

what's with the partial refund? i mean, okay, you have to cancel, BUT GIVE ME THE MONEY I PAID FOR THIS THING YOU WERE GOING TO PROVIDE IN EXCHANGE.

this is great
“Our 2016 course mistake (shortened distance) really hurt us and our credibility,” Davis said in the news release. “This has jeopardized the future of the race and is reflected in the low pre-registration.”
yes, cancelling the race and refusing to refund my $$ has totally restored your credibility.

Sucks. :( You figure they could of cut cost and logistics a lot by having the half and full marathoners do the out and back first part of the full route. Two laps for the full. Better than a full cancellation.

This kind of bs hurts the credibility of all races, imo.

Yes, it absolutely does. Though there are so many newbies to the sport every day that I'm not sure how much others will feel it.

Vancouver's credibility is in jeopardy right off the bat as it's a suburb of Portland and happens to share the same name as a big glamourous
world class city 300 miles to the north.
I did like their t-shirts though
Vancouver
not BC
Washington
not DC
