  • Comments: Fun race. Love the course. Because of a limited field for the marathon of only 350 I ran solo almost the whole way. Would have been easier for last couple of miles to have someone to pace off. The 1st place in my age group only beat me by like 7 seconds. After being sick before the race I was really happy.

  • Comments: Despite some rocky times in the first years of this race, I thought this year's went off very well. Just a note about this race, women outnumber men in the marathon, and women outnumber men 3:1 in the half! Go Ladies! Finally a note about how they are working for the athletes - the women's shirts are extremely odd-shaped, to the point that mine is unwearable. When I wrote to ask about exchanging it, they wrote right back and said they were unhappy with the shirts and were already doing another printing. That was great, they have to double up on costs but they are going ahead to make the athletes happy. Way to go, Windermere!
