  • Comments: I wish they hadn't closed off the lower level of Paul Brown Stadium. Much fewer bathrooms than normal because of this.

  • Comments: Wish the "healthy" snacks at the end were not crappy (ice cream sandwiches, pb crackers, choc milk). Liked that it was flat, except for inclines to the bridges. Made a big difference running without keeping up a conversation.

  • Comments: Mary found a guy named THOMAS LANE in the 60-64 age catagory who cheated the race. I wrote a letter to the race organazation and will follow up. Bastard! He cut the course and put in a WORLD RECORD time...and obviously didn't do that at all. Lets all hunt this guy down and punch him in the nose. Updated: They removed this guy from the results. YEA! Dick!

  • Comments: This was the 99th running of this race so I think they know what they are doing. I love running in big races like this but at the same time, dealing with the crowds is a pain. I think they should consider passing out water bottles as you finish or moving the food area to a more open area. It was so crowded I just couldn't even get in there. I still love this race and will be back next year for the 100th.

  • Comments: This was the 98th running of the Thanksgiving Day Race, So they've had a few years to work out the kinks. It was the second time I've run it and both times it was very smooth. A very good and fun race, I'll do it every year that I'm here.

  • Comments: This is the 4th time I've done this race and despite not being 100% I guess I'm happy that I was only 5 seconds off a personal best time and I did manage a personal best in the standings. Despite all the crowds and troubles at the beginning of the race, I love doing this race the morning of Thanksgiving. I'm gonna shut it down now for a few weeks to let my quad heal and I'll be back with a vengeance soon enough. The Heart Mini-Marathon 15K in March is next on the list!

  • Comments: As always, this is a race that has been done for so many years, it is run like a well made swiss clock. The "celebraties" on the mike were WAY ANNOYING, which is almost becomming a strange tradition in itself. I've done this one forever, and probably will continue to do so.....I'm just so freaking tired, I'm surprised I can type this...

  • Comments: One major bad part about this race was the number of walkers they allowed to start with the runners. Spent the first mile dodging inconsiderate walkers. Some walking four abreast. THey should have been in the back where the walkers were supposed to start.

  • Comments: I thought this was a well organized race, for as big as it was. I thought they could have had one more drink station. Perhaps at the 2 and 4 mile mark.

  • Comments: It's been done for 96years now, so they have it down pat. Plenty of local celeb's, sponsors and fun. The only unpredictable part of this race is the weather. I've seen rain, snow, wind, cold, hot. No matter the weather, it's at worst fun, and at best, great.
