  • Comments: For a local race minutes from my house this is excellent. No, it is not the NYC Marathon or Boston Marathon. But it is a well run event with a community feel (something I think Long Island needs more of). The organizers work hard to put on a quality event, the volunteers work hard (I was amazed at how hard they all were working to pass out water, clear up the cups, and make sure that the runners were aware of the twists and turns on the course). For my first marathon I was really happy that there is zero added stress, no hotels to stay at the night before, no travel plans to arrange months in advance, and a very reasonable entrance fee. I highly recommend this race and the surrounding events to everyone on Long Island interested in participating in a running event at any level of ability (the top women's marathon finisher qualified for the Olympic trials). One of the best things about living on Long Island.
