• Comments: I really, really am looking forward to Steamtown in October. If you have not run a marathon yet, I would not recommend a monster marathon as your first - unless you only plan to run one. If I could do it over, I would have ran a smaller more intimate event, for sure.

• Comments: Just the absolute most fun I've ever had doing a marathon. I think this is the quintessential NYC event. Every one should do this race at least once.

• Comments: For such a large event I really expect much better organization. The UPS bag drop off was chaios, the traffic was bad, the post race was a disgrace. It took me 45 minutes to get through the finish coral and about 25 mins before they would give us our "goodie bag" which consisted of a bottle of water, a bottle of gatorade, an apple, and the worlds worst bagel. Since it took so long for us to get water people around me drank half the bottle in one gulp and then threw it up. I probably saw at least 40 people throwing up water in the overcrowded coral. Don't get me wrong the experience is a once in a lifetime opertunity and is amazing to soak in the atmosphere and excitement. NYRR really needs to go to a well run event like the Marine Corps marathon and take notes. I am glad to have done this race, and definitely recomend to anyone, but I really do not foresee myself running it again.
