  • Comments: i highly recommend wearing an obnoxious green shirt with TRIXIE printed across the chest. it appears that it is more fun to yell trixie than common names because 723,819 people outta the estimated 2 million spectators yelled my name:) YEA TRIXIE:)

  • Comments: Huge numbers of runners and spectators. Crowds EVERYWHERE. Not for the claustrophobic or folks that like fresh air and country breezes. It's an industrial strength crowd from 6AM to 3PM. Plenty of volunteers, and the fan support was phenomenal. Run with Trixie if possible. :)

  • Comments: This is a good event, in terms of the flatness of the course and the crowd support. But, all of the runners make it tough to run on pace. I was constantly weaving in and out of running traffic. Also, if you have a sensitive stomach while running, the trips through the various neighborhoods can be a little tough to take...especially the beer smell around mile 21 or so. UGH!
