  • Comments: I was really shocked how much support there was in the Birmingham community...that impressed me. I found the location of aid stations a bit odd. I would like to see them ever mile...I never really knew when the next one would appear. However, they were fully staffed with PLENTY of volunteers. I liked this race and might make it a staple in my training.
