  • Comments: The race started late due to late racers and people waiting in line. The RD thought it would be nice if we waited for people who clearly didn't bother to get to the race on time. So those of us that did, stood out in the freezing cold waiting. No-I'm not bitter :) Anyway, it was a spectacle becasue people started boo'ing and yelling for us to go already. It was pretty funny. Aside from that, and the NO water stop bewteen mile 21 and the finish it was okay. There were a couple times where the aid stations weren't stocked with enough people and I had to stop and wait for them to hand me a drink. It was a beautiful course and a perfect day for a marathon. Just not the flat course I was told it would be. heh. Defintely not flat. It's constant rolling hills. You're either going up or down. I would do the race again, but not for a time goal just for fun.

  • Comments: Good race with above average post race activities for a smaler low key race. I was a first time mrathoner so they gave me a framed bib number which I thought was a nice touch. My only complaint was there were no portapotties on the run. I have never seen so many people running into the woods (men and women) peeing and pooing- It was just weird!
