This is a lovely, super easy course along the coast and through a state park. Plenty of places to stay or park near the start. I had no problems with the race production. Swag is fine. I’m very happy to have logged this one for DE.

You read the reviews on here and think it can’t be THAT great. It is. All the things mentioned in previous reviews are true. I just can’t believe there’s another small town marathon that gets this level of crowd support. Pretty hilly course, though!

Pros: super easy packet pickup and parking close to start. Everybody is just so nice. Neat course through Coast Guard base and lovely, woodsy neighborhoods.

Cons: a bit congested through the first couple miles, not a whole lot of crowd support, and water stations every two miles (I prefer every mile, especially in the second half).

I created an account solely to give this race some love.

As others have mentioned, the race director is kind, responsive, and a consummate professional, and all the logistics of the race operate like clockwork.

The course could hardly be easier, the epitome of “pancake flat.” The one exception is the bridge over the Mississippi, which is worth the mile-long, gradual incline for the views of the river.

If you need a wide variety of scenery and ample fan support, this might not be the best race for you. If, like me, you reach a Zen-like state on long, flat, rural highways, the course is perfect.
