  • Comments: Afterward, I met up with my family, had some water and a banana, and waited for my mom to finish at 1:38:something, number 21 in her age group (she's 70). We hopped on a shuttle back over to our side of the bridge to drive home, spending the time to dissect our races and talk about training. I feel good today, and hopeful that I can keep making small improvements, that my knee is feeling good, and that my husband, mom and sister want to make this an annual tradition.

  • Comments: normally well run race past 5 years, if announcers explained why the delay, could have eased the irritation

  • Comments: I would return and do this race again plus the ride the next day. However, I would bunk in downtown to get the full vibe of the event weekend. The weather was outstanding and this race while still showing a few kinks did a great job of moving 40K peeps to, through and out the other side of a point to point course. Well done.

  • Comments: This race had a whopping 38,000 pp registered. The sheer number of entrants made me think it was going to be a mess; rather, this was well-organized and SO much fun. Charleston is a teriffically fun city to visit. Book hotel reservations early and consider staying on outskirts or across the river and visiting downtown vs. staying and paying extra. Book reservations for meals, too! Race specific: stay warm at the start; grab a water before you hit the bridge -- it is a longer climb than you think!! Very fun if you enjoy downhill running (fast)! Tell family to park and walk. I met folks on the steps of the Knights of Columbus building - which was a great central spot - and has restrooms and Bloody Mary's at the end!

  • Comments: The reason why I 'only' gave 4 out of 5 is, that the package pickup the day before was a mess. If you put your expo in the middle of downtown, you have to come up with something to regulate traffic better.

  • Comments: Must be prepared for lots of people. If you come and expect to speed through the course and have easy access to everything: You've got the wrong attitude for the race: RELAX enjoy the run and the people. It was a great run, well planned and lots of fun. HINT: have your bib packet mailed to you, it'll save the waiting (over an hour) the night before.
