  • Comments: I loved this race, it is an outstanding value and superbly run. It is a wonderful first marathon for anyone that is close enough. There are lots of extras and finishing gifts that make it worth every dollar. There are so many volunteers its almost overwhelming. After the halfway point there is a water stop at every single mile. Definitely put this race on your list if you can.

  • Comments: Overall a very good race. Very crowded but field felt slower overall than Baltimore. What may because the half started an hour earlier and runs the back half. Therefore (unlike Baltimore) you the two raced don't merge. Only thing I didn't like was how the course was squeezed into a single lane at several parts. The made it difficult to keep up with the pace group because people kept trying to move up and stay with the pace leaders. Obviously I've never run with a pace group again but it felt like the people never thinned out.

  • Comments: This is the second year I have done this race. It is a great race, very well organized and very well supported. There are only two stretches where there are not wall to wall supporters. I really liked running the 8k on Sat and the marathon on Sunday. Makes for a very cool weekend :) I like this race, but next year I may do the new Tobacco Road marathon that is a new race at home.
