SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – The Every Woman’s Marathon over the weekend drew thousands to the city, but many people are voicing their frustration with the planning.
Some are saying organizers didn’t consider residents and visitors with the number of road closures and lack of alternate routes, many within neighborhoods.
“It was pure rage because everyone who was in charge there seemed to have absolutely no concern for anything outside of what their goal was,” Misty Cohens said.
Cohens was one of many impacted on Saturday.
An Atlanta resident, she was in town for her husband’s funeral but had to take her friend to her dialysis appointment earlier in the day. She didn’t make it to that appointment, however.

“[My friend] did spend the night in the hospital, because she was not able to do her dialysis when scheduled. Her potassium levels rose to a concerning level,” Cohens said.
Cohens then was on the way to her husband’s funeral – something she never imagined she would be late for.
