  • Comments: There are few reason why I wouldn't give this race 5 stars: 1 - It's not very pretty. The downtown area is nice, but brief. The is a LONG section that goes by the rail yard and not only is it ugly but it's narrow as it's an out and back so you are crammed on one side of the road and on the other side are the return runners. 2 - There was one spot that there was way too long of a stretch between the aid stations, and then when finally one appeard, there was another one about .75 after that. 3 - When there were signs for aid stations, you might see them on the right hand side, but then as you approached the actually aid was on the left side. Not good. Good volunteers, lousy expo, very organized and good food at the end, but who can eat after a very hard effort! I probably will NOT do this marathon again as there are so many more beautiful ones to do. But thanks to the pacers!! Especially Erica Ogle, she went out of her way to pace me all the way to the end even though she was supposed
