I liked this run a lot… but the organization was a little chaotic for me. The shorter distances turn around and right into the longer distance runners who are fast fast but pretty fast. In fact, the 10k and 5k runners were merging and turning around right into the path of the 10 mile runners. Kind of lame.
The post-race party was decent. They had good beer too… not just light beer.
Shirt was horrible. I donated mine within a day.
I also stopped to help someone who had fallen and was thought to be really injured. She was just mostly embarrassed though… and then, when the marshals and medics finally showed up 20 mins later, I was out of wack with my run and did not even get a thank you from the race organizers. Lame again.

I absolutely loved this marathon. The city was welcoming, the packet pick-up was smooth and the course was beautiful. Also to add- The course is asphalt, cement and loose gravel as well. I had some issues with the uneven portions and wish I has moved to the top or bottom of the path to even it out for me. Other than that, it was a great run.

The weather is pretty great but be advised the race starts at 53 degrees and ends in the mid to upper 80’s. So bring an undershirt you can donate along the way and you will be fine. Many of the runners were wearing tank tops.

The post-race party is nice. Bring shade. There is not much provided buy the event or nature. Wish I had brought an umbrella.

Parking may be the best and easiest I have ever seen at a race. I arrived 30 mins ahead of time and parked within 2 city blocks of the start line.
