This was a small, no-frills marathon with a lot of really friendly people. The course was along the Burke-Gilman bike trail, which was open to the public during the race. There was no one directing traffic at the road crossings, but we were told this was going to happen and were warned to yield to traffic. I thought the course was fairly scenic, except for the last 2-mile out and back which had trash from homeless people strewn along the path. Don’t get me wrong though, this was a fun marathon, but don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed. All in all I had a great time.
