Harrisburg Marathon

I looked into it before deciding on doing Philly myself.  From what I could tell, looks like a decent event.  Course is mostly flat with just one section appearing to have some noteworthy hills--should be a decent BQ course.  Not sure how 'scenic' the route is.  Much smaller crowd than Philly (could be a plus or minus).  Much cheaper.  Sounded like better schwag (a jacket for all runners I think).

The things that pushed me into Philly were slightly easier logistics (stay at home the night before vs. stay in Harrisburg) and 2 weeks of extra training time.  Actually, if not for the latter, I probably would have given Harrisburg a try.
