• Comments: I really liked the scenic aspects of the course. I even saw a deer between mile 7 and 8. There's also a point around mile 2 where you leave the road and go onto a paved bike trail through a stand of walnut trees. Being walnut trees, they'd already lost all their leaves and this string of brightly colored runners - hot orange, yellow, green etc - goes bobbing their way through the desolate looking woods. It was quite pretty, like a strange migration of exotic animals.

• Comments: This has never been a favorite course of mine. In the past it's been crowded, but not so much this time. But between the hills and the inconsistent terrain, it's definitely not a favorite.

• Comments: Excellnt first Marathon (of any kind). I had fun, completed the race and performed slightly better than expected (planned 4:00:00). Race was well organized and run efficiently. Started on time, had tons of worker support, police support and photographers. Massages available at end and a great barbeque too.
