  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Absolutely loved it, but I might be a little bias with the fact that I'm not a serious racer and I'm an Army veteran. Just being in D.C. surrounded by national pride did it for me. I do wish they had had better post racing food and drink (recovery drink would have been nice!) but other than that, they were organized and awesome. The finisher coins were a little on the cheap side when you compare it to the Air Force Half Marathon medals, but coins are an Army thing and I love mine.

  • Comments: I only say event went off late because it took us so long to reach the start line and it then took at least a couple of miles before things started to thin out. Would like to see few more drink stations? I suppose every two miles is more than enough...guess I've just been spoiled a little by Broad Street. Still, pulling off a race of this size in DC is a pretty amazing feat.

  • Comments: The soldiers were great at the water stops. Plenty of water for everyone 10x over. navigating the water stops was a bit tricky as people started hanging out and coming to complete stops after the first water station. Navigating the course towards teh end was tricky too as I came upon several huge groups of walkers taking the entire course. I just wish people would run/walk like they [i]should[/i] drive. Slower traffic to the right! Once people put down their entry fee I think they feel entitled to walk wherever they please. This is coming from someone who barely cracked the 12min/mile pace, so you know it had to be bad out there! Still a great race though! Plan on lowering my time next year!
