  • Comments: Weather was great race day, but day beofre and day after were bad. Day after race the wind was 20 mph steady. It could have been a real factor in the race had it occurred on raceday as we would've had to run 10 miles straight into that wind.

  • Comments: This was a great race, held at a great town at the perfect time of the year, weatherwise. There is a lot of St. Patty Day spirit, and the crowds were awesome.

  • Comments: This really was a fun and enjoyable race. The after party on the beach is very nice. This race is well organized and a good size so that it is not a big production to get to the race and with so many hotels it makes it that much easier to just stay and enjoy the whole weekend. This year the weather was the most perfect weather I have ever had for a marathon.

  • Comments: This race was awesome. Everything was very well done (reg, communication, expo, race). And the support out of the course was incredible. I've never had so many strangers cheer me on by name. It was such a positive experience!

  • Comments: The race was really fun and well run. I'd come back and do it again. I see now, why, after 30 years and several marathons, this is the only marathon my dad ever gushes about. It was really nice.

  • Comments: A PR by 13 minutes, and a Boston-qualifying time. I'd say it was a good race :)
