  • Comments: Congrats to everyone! I think the Ga Marathon is finally making itself into a really great race and I actually feel comfortable recommending this race to people. I will however caution those going for a BQ on this course: Unless the BQ is a soft goal you might fight yourself dissappointed. This can be a really hard course to meet your goals on--especially if those goals are contingent on peak capabilities. Bottom line: Run this marathon, aim low and you won't be disappointed.

  • Comments: Post race at this event sucks. Everyone leaves, and that's a shame. Plan is to run it again next year, and every year that I can. I love the challenge that the course brings. Still ranks as the most difficult course that I have run.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was a great race, but at the end there was nothing going on. I guess since the majority of the racers were 1/2, then they broke stuff down before us slow pokes doing the full finished.

  • Comments: It's hard to pass up a marathon in your backyard. It's not the best as far as spectators goes but the course is beautiful and is very challenging. It will make you honest.

  • Comments: This is a great race. It is a cool tour of Atlanta and a good test. It's a tough place to PR, but it is still a lot of fun.

  • Comments: Awesome volunteers. Too many drink stations and I ended up drinking too much h2o and gatoraide.
