This was a chaotic 5K. The introductions of the important man were missed by many cause he only started in French, long speech, and then started with English. The warming up was in French only and not all mics were working. And the only one speaking English wasn't able to improvise beyond asking if we were ready and pointing out superhero costumes.
I truly do not know which idiot thought it was a good idea to mix up the corrals and at random assign people with children in the first corral? Especially as the first few 100 meters were extremely narrow.
I was happy with my time, according to my running app, I was able to finish under 30 minutes, which was a nice surprise. But when I came over the finish line I saw still runners entering the Studios, and even when I entered the Village there were still people starting.
I didn't stop for any characters the queues were very long. (Saw Black Widow, Thor, Captain America and two others meet, but I'm not at home in the Marvel Universe
so don't know!)
