The race start point was not correctly mentioned in the flyer. I spent 20 minutes looking around for the start line. The race starts and ends on a grassy surface. This is extremely risky as there is a high chance of getting your ankle twisted because there are many golf holes. They can instead move the race past the tunnel. The rest of the race was good. The race did not start on time.
