  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Race was fairly organized and course was interesting. There weren't many port-o-potties on the course (I only saw two) which caused me to find a spot behind a stone building on Constitution Avenue. Course ended up being .24 miles long which sucked when you're pushing it at the end. Overall, a good race and a training run for our group. Regardless, exceeded my realistic goal time of 2:20.

  • Comments: Although it didn't effect me, there really weren't many port-o-potties on the course. They had plenty at the start/finish area, which was nice. Post race food was blah...just bagels and bananas..that's it. Post race activities were not great, but it was probably dampered by the cool air and cold misty rain.

  • Comments: I have the race running long according to my GPS. Also, the packet pickup was not particularly convenient--hard to get to and from for out of towners. Finally, my race time and the official race time are off by about 7 minutes. I can't figure that one out to save my soul.

  • Comments: The only thing I would improve is to make the mile markers more obvious. I don't think this issue is specific to the National Half Marathon. I missed two of them, and I was looking for them. I think signs, neon lights, etc. should mark miles. I don't understand why it isn't possible to make the markets more obvious. I'm definately mentioning it on a post-race survey. The markers they had were white and looked like a traffic sign, so they were easy to miss.

  • Comments: Really enjoyed this race. The weather was probably a big limiter on crowd support and post race activities. The volunteers were awesome. I had a great race!
