Comments: This is a fantastic event. The course is very flat and there are lots of aid stations. It's quite beautiful in many spots as well. You really get to see a lot of Cleveland through the race. I'd highly recommend it as a first marathon.
It's also a bit "weak" as far as really fast times go, so if you are fast it's a good marathon to place well in.
Comments: It was wet! Good race. Put it all out there on the course. Didn't have much left for a good sprint to the finish line, but I did give what I had left for a sprint. Age group winners 1 & 2 in 07 placed 1 & 2 again this year. Their times were slower in 08. My time this year was 43 seconds faster than last year. The 10K course was changed this year. Looking at this years 10K course elevation chart makes it look pretty flat. Well, there was one rather long gradual incline in the later miles of the course which was a bit stressful. I think perhaps running last years course was easier. Almost forgot, 48:45 was a 10K, PR for me today!
