• Comments: This race is run so very well. I loved the expo, the start area, the volunteers on course and after the race were great. Many people will tell you that the course is hard because of the many bridges. Coming from SC and no hills, that did worry me, but I found them to be no problem at all. Training on our bridge, which is a much bigger and steeper hill than any you find in this race, was a great way to get ready for hills.

• Comments: Pretty darn well organized for 50,000 runners. And with Boston, the security was a necessary hassle, but it didn't bother me at all. Fans couldn't get to the finish line unless they paid $75 for VIP pass was disappointing to my wife and friend that came out to see me.

• Comments: For 50k runners in the wake of the bombings in Boston, it was all very smooth. Well done NYRR and NYC. I hope to get back in the next 10 years.
