• Comments: very interesting course. i mentioned the international travel earlier, and then finishing on the 50 yard line in Ford Field as you watch yourself on the jumbotron is pretty cool. it was also nice to have a comfortable spot to sit and stretch after the race (turf). the ground outside woulda been horrible. i may do it again (the half) as a season ending fun run.

• Comments: This is a good race. Water/Gatorade every mile was really nice. Every mile was marked, and the finish on Ford Field was seriously rad ;) A little more substance to the food would be nice, but overall, this is a well-run race, and I would do it again.
