• Comments: Another well-organized, fun event put on by the Marine Corps Marathon Association. Fun to be part of an inaugural race, especially since it was also MY first half marathon. Awesome to see all the Marines out along the course (including the Navy Corpsman who spotted Travis in his USMC jersey and yelled "Go NAVY!"). Definitely a race we'd do again if we can travel back East again to do it.

• Comments: The Marines really put on a great race. It was an inaugural event and everything went smoothy. They had plently of drink stations, a lot of volunteers, the course was well marked, and they had some entertainment every few miles out on the course. I will definitely plan on doing this race again -- Loved it!! :)
