Running this amazing race was so much fun. The fall colors were dazzling. The weather was gorgeous. We were bussed to the 1/2 point of the marathon on the opposite side of Schroon Lake. The aid stations were frequent and well stocked with water and Gatorade. Coke was added for the final few stations as well as a small energy snack. So many wonderful spectators cheered us along. It felt like the entire town had turned out, and they had the runners’ names matched to bib numbers to personalize their encouragement. The vet who played his trumpet was very inspiring. The energy generated by the young people through the local college really helped me pick up my pace. Wendy, our pacer, was awesome! She helped me with a strategy to get through the long rolling hills. After race refreshments were varied and plentiful. If I lived nearby, I would race this again.

Beautiful views
Beautiful views throughout this course though the hills are tough. Good swag, we got a fleece zip up which I still wear all the time. The finish is at Schroon … MORE
Beautiful views throughout this course though the hills are tough. Good swag, we got a fleece zip up which I still wear all the time. The finish is at Schroon Lake. I loved taking off my shoes and wading in after the race.
Not huge crowds or a ton of spectators.
