My Raves

Far too crowded, more/worse bottlenecks than normal, overwhelmed Metro - and forced to use it, many misplaced mile markers. See more at blog: https://runroundtheworld.blogspot.com/2025/10/50th-anniversary-marine-corps-marathon.html?m=0 … MORE

While the scenery was decent in several sections and the AG awards are quite nice (small wooden paddles), I would advise against running this race again. There were many parts of the course that were FULLY open to traffic, in both directions on a road with one lane in each direction. Not only did the runners not know which side of the road to run on in their particular direction (when it was an out-and-back) because of poor marking of the roads, but they did nothing to prevent cars from driving on either side of the street in either direction. Thankfully this was always within neighborhood roads, so cars were driving slowly, but this is still needlessly dangerous.
