This is a good course for a PR or BQ. Aid stations every 1.5-2 miles with water, powerdade, and fruit. Not many portapots, but plenty of trees. Nice post-race area set-up with a band, decent selection of food and drinks, massage, and a few vendors. Great technical race t-shirts. Due to the course, there is not a lot of crowd support for this race. There were plenty of runners (1400 half and full total).

The marathon sold out a few days later. I imagine

Comments: This race was nice becasue it was low key and well organzied. The only gripe i had was the lack of port o pottys, not everyone wants to go in the woods. Otherwise i liked it. Plus it was so close to my parents house so i had someone to watch my son.
