  • Comments: The start was changed so there were some traffic issues. It took me over an hour to go less than two miles and I was in that area at 5: 30. Finally got parked at 7:10 and there were miles of cars behind me. They push the race back to allow others to get there. It was a great race for me. Plenty of support from the staff as well as the citizens on the streets. I'd go back again.

  • Comments: Could tell race was well organized, but it was not well communicated. The traffic on race morning was horrendous. Took 1.5 hrs to go the last 3 miles. Good parking, just didn't have a good way to get the traffic in

  • Comments: The race was absolutely wonderful except for the post-race activities. They ran out of food for those that finished in the middle. Never did find my pink champagne.

  • Comments: I thought that the crowd support was superb. The expo was great as was the runner support on the course. Water stations were well stocked, port-a-pots plentiful, Gu available, etc. The only issue was the shuttle buses to the start. That's kind of a biggie and I'm sure that the organizers are addressing it. I would consider doing this event again.

  • Comments: I LOVE this race and can not say enough wonderful things about the organization, the cause, the spectators, the aid stations. There were less spectators this year than normal but it was cold and I don't blame them. But there are still more spectators at this race than most and the neighborhood people are incredible with setting out various treats and cheering enthusiatically.

  • Comments: The only reason I didn't give this a 5 on the rating for the race was 1) the transportation sucked again (like last year) and 2) they should have "festivities" for the slow-bees like me!

  • Comments: Over 1600 marathon runners and over 4000 half marathoners plus 214 marathon relay teams (5 people per team). I thought that the organization and crowd support were superb. The expo was great as was the runner support on the course. Water stations were well stocked, port-a-pots plentiful, Gu available, etc. I would definitely do this event again. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
