  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

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

  • Comments: The traffic was backed up so badly; that many people started this race late, myself included. This course is ok for the first half; but really boring for the second. I have ran this race before and the only reason I did it again was to be able to run 2 marathons in 2 days.

Ben, thank you for believing in me, and even taking a break from your guys weekend to call me last night!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Around 6000 runners, inc about 1500 doing full marathon. Volunteers were GREAT!!! Plenty of food/drink for 5hr finishers. Course was beautiful, although maybe a little tough for 1st timers. And last 3mi or so are generally uphill. Saw many drop-outs after mile 16 being bused back to starting area. Nice bands on course, but quiet areas too in State Park. Post-race meal was good- inc veggie options.
