  • Comments: Great, organized race. Did the Marathon in 07 and had a great time with that as well. They give out a great shirt, hat and medal as well. Course is flat and fast and finish on the boardwalk at the beach.

  • Comments: I love the turnout of races like this. I love the atmosphere of lots of people. The coral in the beginning was a joke. It was so disorganized, I saw tons of people just jumping in where they could. Including me. Kudos to the volunteers standing out in the cold. They weren't running, so I'm sure it was miserable. I wish there were more music on the course. I never run with an ipod, so the musical distraction was nice. Pretty course. Pretty flat. Fun atmosphere. Line for the food and beer tent was enormous! Oh, and what was the deal with the swag bags? I got a lonely little power bar in mine when I finished. Nothing else. I saw other bags with tons more yummies. Luck of the draw I guess. The hamrock hat was nice at the end. And the finishers medals were really cool! I like medals. You don't get cool shiny things for 5-Ks. (Money doesn't count. I'm slow.)

  • Comments: Great race...although the weather was cold and windy at the start, it was fine once I was warmed up and running a bit off the water. Very well organized with plenty of aid/water stations and a well organized finish area. Plus, they posted the race results within hours!

  • Comments: Very good race. Lots of fun people to see, lots of cheering. Some of the half marathon mile markers were hard to spot or non-existant, but that's a minor thing.

  • Comments: A good race for a first-time half-marathoner. Good organization, nice and flat. The unknown factor is the weather. The glimpses of the ocean throughout are awe-inspiring.

  • Comments: This was a great race, and an excellent first 1/2 mary. Lots of volunteers, good spectators, some music, some jokes, some army folks, and nice runners. I had enough room to run without bumping folks, but I never felt lonely.

  • Comments: what's with the A-hole on Saturday not letting people on the beach when the tent party was for friends and family. My gf finally found me and we figured that we could get to the tent via the other entrance on the beach, hence the low organized score. I skipped the party on Sunday for that reason. Our tower of beer cups on Sat was awesome though!
