Comments: Things I liked about this race:
· I surprisingly didn’t hate the first unscheduled out and back. It was a very nice paved trail system that meandered through mostly forested areas.
· The people that did come out to watch the race cheered for everyone.
· For the first half of the marathon the aid stations were almost exactly 2 miles apart as advertised.
· Nice long sleeved technical shirt for all participants, customized for the race you were running.
· Post race food was a very nice spread.
· It is relatively close to Little Rock.
Things I didn’t like about this race:
· The course map provided on the web site in a word sucked. Mileage wasn’t marked on it. It wasn’t to scale. If it hadn’t had turn by turn direction on it so you could look at a real map it would have been useless. The blown up 3’x5’ updated rerouted map they had displayed also didn’t have mileage marked on it.
· The out and back on the concrete
