  • Comments: The construction just before going over the bridge caused a lot of walking as there was a bottleneck here in order to get over the bridge. It seems that it was the perfect storm with the way they started the race. I hope this is changed next year.

  • Comments: I think the decision to start the half marathon 5 minutes after the marathon was necessary due to construction on the bridge but it created its own set of problems. Walkers also started 5 minutes before the half.
