  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The race was good, not great. The expo was easy to navigate and there were tons of volunteers around. The race got started on time. The course was extremely hilly - nothing terribly steep, just constant climbing. THe pavement on the roads was terrible, not that the organizers could have done anything about it. The hills were jsut relentless, especially in the last 6 miles. It was bood to do this one for MS. I can't imagine running the other MS marathon in September- the heat would be brutal. The volunteers were outstanding, very vocal and helpful.

  • Comments: Despite the weather, this race has done a fantastic job in the two years they have held it. The threat of storms kept the musicians off the course, so that was a bummer, but understandable. It's just a really well organized and fun event with a really tough course that happened to have a double whammy of some major humidity today.
