  • Comments: Good smaller race. Limited expo and swag. Post race activities were nonexistent. There were 3 coolers and cups out, and we had to get our own water. There was a tub of bananas, oranges, and a plate of cookies. That's it. Other than that, it was a good race.

  • Comments: Overall it was a great scenic course, and the race was well organized. They also gave out race hats at the finish line, which was a nice surprise. Idaho is done, but I would do this race again anyway.

  • Comments: The race itself really suffered from lack of organization. The race packets literally had NO information about the race. There was a blurry map, but it was useless as it had no street names and no mile markers! No start time. No where to park. Nothing. So I came back to the hotel to check the website. It had two different places for the start line. I finally decided that I'd just forget it, show up to the Riverstone area and hope for the best. The race started late because two buses were pulling out of the hotel at 7:00 a.m. The strange thing is, that was in mile 2 and the race was starting at 7:00 a.m. so I'm not entirely sure why we waited. Even the fastest runners would hit that at best about 10 minutes in. But I guess better safe than sorry. The course was EXTREMELY confusing in some areas. Sometimes there wasn't anyone to point the way, but we figured it out. However those course support who WERE there were wonderful. Very nice people who ever encouraging. Thank you course support!

  • Comments: I think they need to plan a bit more when it comes to the gels. That was brutal. It seems they got more out to those stations because they all had gels on the way back in.

  • Comments: This was my first marathon, so by definition I suppose it was my best, however I have seen how larger cities go all out for their marathons and that can be great fun. Nonetheless, given the size of the City of Coeur d'Alene, they really put on a great race. The volunteers came out in the rain and had a lot of enthusiasm. Plus this was a great way for me to scout out the course for the upcoming Ironman CDA.
