• Comments: I thought this was a well organized race overall. The expo wasn't huge but there was enough to look at. The course goes through several interesting areas of Little Rock, though the full marathoners rightfully groan about some of the hills from miles 17 and on. There were nice pockets of crowd support and the volunteers did a good job of manning hydration stations. I just wish that the porta-potty stops had more than 4 units each!! With a race this large there were ridiculously long lines at every one of them. I thought the weather was perfect - I like it cool when I run - and the energy among the race participant was upbeat and positive. Of course the big-ass medals (world's largest per Runner's World) are the best part. I was having complete medal envy of the full mary runners who have the spinning whirly-gigs on top complete with faux diamond. Yeah - next year I'll have to get me one of those. I didn't really check out the post race action so can't comment.
