NY has the BEST system for getting everyone to the start of the race. Logistics are top notch.
They have 5 different starts one for each wave I liked that as well. There are some elevation changes on the course that could be challenging but I trained for the hills and the legs felt good for the full race. Temps were not my friend that day. 70’s and 75% humidity made it hard to breathe and get in to a groove. The mid course aid stations ran out of supplies and that was another thing I didn’t like. I’d expect more from a race of this caliber. While it was a pour day for running it was an amazing day for spectators, I found that there were a few areas on the course that were with out crowd support. Over all I’m glad that I got NY done but I don’t have to do that one again.

Really good race with a lot of crowd support. Beautiful course running along the river with a couple of bridge crossings to help keep you honest. Would definitely recommend it and I will be back to run it again.

This is a beautiful run along the river. Point to point race. Mostly trail, crushed gravel, single track and large stones make up the 1st 10 miles. The last 3 miles are paved and you finish in a park. Nice post race party

This is a big race with lot’s of crowd support. If I lived out there I would run this one every year. There are some steep climbs mid distance for the half marathon. But the view from the top is worth it.

If you are running the half marathon then you start at the airport and finish there as well. All road and well placed aid stations. There is a good post race party with lots of food trucks to sample from. Bring money as the post race food trucks are not included in the race entry.

I found it funny that the call this the lakefront marathon but you don’t actually get to see the water till mile 23…. Well organized race point to point with mostly a downhill course. Good support from aid stations but not a lot of crowds to cheer for you as you race.

Wind on the morning of the event prevented us from starting the swim so a biking we went. I felt strong on the course cycling and then had a good run after. I’m 50 50 on if I want to do this one again. I had a wonderful time but not enough to make me want to risk having a swim canceled again. Ironman always puts on a good show and this was not an acceptation.
The run course and bike course make for nice views.

There are lots and lots of climbing points on this course. I ran it the day after RnR Nashville cuz I’m a special kind of crazy. Beautiful venue and good snacks at the aid stations. My Garmin showed me at 95 flights of stairs at the end of this one.

The rock n roll races are well organized and have amazing swag with the best idea of having live music on course. What you are not told is that due to noise restrictions the bands don’t start playing till later in the day. I was at mile 7 before hearing any live music. I have done quite a few of the RnR races. And if you are in to bling and swag they are a definite win.

This race takes you from downtown Indy through some neighborhoods and then over to the race track where you get to run on the race course. There are no aid stations while in the venue but plenty set up before and after you enter the track. It is definitely a one time event I don’t feel the need to run this one a second time.
