  • Comments: Ask me a year ago if I'd be running a half-marathon non-stop and I'd have asked you if I could have what you were smoking. Give this race (and this city) another 1-3 years, and it will be in its glory days again. I am very pleased with my race overall, and when the soreness goes away in about 15 days, I'll be ready to do it again! ALL THE RACE PICS ARE IN MY ALBUM!!!

  • Comments: Great event, good to see they jumped through all the hoops to make it happen this year, probably the biggest post-Katrina event to-date. Had runners from all 50 states participating. Course was in good shape and well staffed, still chilling to be running in areas where the water marks (still visible on the houses) were above your head.

  • Comments: Given the circumstances this was one of my favorite races to date. Not to crowded at the start line, and pretty good spectators, expecially in the areas that flooded pretty bad. There was suppossed to be parkingm which there wasnt, and my husband had to drop me off (from the car) at the start line and not see me start the race. No biggy. It was really emotional hearing that people were hear from all 50 states and 18 counties. I always get emotional at these races, and this one was just the same. I highly recommend this race for next year.

  • Comments: Nice to hear that people from 50 states raced today. Enjoyed running in areas that normally can't run due to traffic. Proud to have finished and even prouder of hubby for running the full marathon.
