• Comments: Post race results were posted immediatly. An announcer said your name as you finished (kinda cool!). The race awards were given out prior to the absolute last runners coming in, which was well over 6hrs. I noticed the marathon runners were crowded out at the finish sometimes because all runners (10k, half mary, marathon) would enter the same chute. I would still run this marathon though. The crowd was supportive. There were adequate recovery food available immediatly after. My wife and would do this race again.

• Comments: This is by far the most beautiful race you will ever run. Very organized and well-run. Aid stations every two miles, with a sign before each station that said "aid station in 200 yds" which I thought was a nice touch since they were always around a bend. The only negative is that the road surface is very uneven. It is also not flat as described. I guess I expect "flat" to mean Kansas flat, but there were some good hills here I was not exactly expecting. In the end, this was an amazing race that I would definitely recommend!
