  • Comments: Things I liked: Running over the bridge and seeing the view of Windsor and Detroit. Running an underwater mile. Running through two countries, crossing an international border crossing twice. Hearing Canadians cheer us on, with a distinct Canadian accent. :D Being welcomed back to the great US of A. :D Mile markers were clear, and I did not miss a single one (which surprised me!) As someone who doesn't do big races often, I liked the atmosphere. Happy to get a long sleeve tech T. It was also cool that they differentiated the shirts between marathon, half marathon, and relay. They also definitely get an A+ for social media presence! They are very engaging with their facebook and twitter audiences and I think it adds to the excitement. The so-so: the post-race massage idea was nice, although they are students, so I feel it's probably hit or miss (I think I got a miss...) I wasn't too impressed with the post-race food. Although the chocolate milk was nice.
