  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Unbelievable support on the course and for the race in general. Plenty of opportunities to releave yourself, water at every station but the second (not sure how that happened) and the perfect selection of GU flavors. I was nervous about that. Only one station had just Espresso, so I was happy I had brought a couple of my own. Start lines were a little confusing since the half and full were at seperate places. Shirts were not unisex this year so mine is waaay too small. Wish the website would have clarified that when registering, but not a deal breaker. I would definately recommend this marathon to anyone and everyone.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I need to face the fact that I must carry a fuel belt even when the stations are plentiful. I need to find an electrolyte replacement because the Gu and water are not enough to keep me from cramping.My last 20 mile needs to be within 3 weeks of the event. Consider going 22-24 miles and/or upping pace at later stages.
