• Comments: Because I set such a lofty goal and was so damn intent on hitting it, I forgot to enjoy the race, the scenery, the volunteers. The Long Island Marathon people ran a 10/10 perfect event. It started at 8AM exactly; the expo the day before was decent / along with all the fun events for the kids; there were hundreds of volunteers; lots of towns people came out to cheer; the race shirt is a high-end technical shirt and they also gave us a nifty duffel bag and a shiny finishers medal; lots of post race food and activities; and the backdrop of Eisenhower park is very nice and there are plenty of facilities available. Overall the race couldn't have been more organized; except for the corral seating!
