• Comments: This race is well put on. It is very organized with lots of aid stations, volunteers and traffic control. It is a flat course. If you like flat courses and smaller races, this marathon is a great one to consider doing. There were some other events going on in town that weekend, including a Georgia Cup race. I drove in with only enough time to pick up race number and left as soon as I felt I could stand sitting in the car for the 3.5 hour ride back to Atlanta so I never really checked out the town or the events. As much as I didn't enjoy this race, I would consider doing this race again if I wasn't going solo. It is definitely a flat, "easy" course and with the right attitude and support it could be a great course to try and break or set some PRs.

• Comments: For being such a small race, things were extremely organized. There were actually more volunteers than racers! If it weren't so far away, I would definitely do it again, but if you live down south, you should give this race a shot!
