Comments: This was a great experience; I always feel good after a trail run. The course was well marked, although a few people made wrong turns (including yours truly, who was saved by some boy scouts camping). I would definitely do this race again, or try to conquer the Triple Crown - half, 10k, and 5k all in one morning. Only suggestion I would have is to man the street crossings/water stops (at least the end ones) for another half hour to hour to accommodate more marathon fools. However, the change to self-serve at noon was clearly published.
This race was a blast in terms of the course, the natural beauty of the area, and the nice people running it. It was for a good cause as well. John Mac, you did a great job.
