Fantastic, designed course started and finished by the beautiful state capital. The trail portion meandered along the river and through the park and its lake. Very strong head winds at times especially off the lake. Very friendly and helpful support staff as well

For an Inaugural event the City of Athens Marathon was great. Worried about the hills but the course layout was excellent in minimizing any steep climbs. Sold out race, prepare to sign up quickly. Nice medal and wonderful tour through the city.

wasn’t expecting 16 seperate start corals and wondered why downtown parking warned you to be parked 1:45 pre-race. Traffic and construction was terrible. The race however was opperated very good as was expo. Relatively flat caurse with good spectator support throughout. The layout through Memphis was nice as was the post race location in the ballpark.

Fortunately the very little wind but mostly cloudy. First city half had many hills, second half was thankfully flat. Someone said because I couldn’t find it 960’ of incline. Good fan support was a very fun race despite the cold. Very large medal that was actually checked by TSA

the 2023 race was under perfect cloudy weather as the rain expected was delayed to the afternoon. The course had more up and down hills then what I expected but it just made for a more challenged finish. Scenery along the course was ever changing from the coast to downtown. the race was very well organized and the volunteer’s were excellent

Four loop marathon on the boardwalk. very good hydration station support to cheer everyone on. difficult having to deal with all the bikes and other visitors using the boardwalk especially as the day went on and sun came out. The mid 80’s finish weather after a rain was difficult. The website was confusing as well as start time for this race differed from other Rockaway events

warm sunny humid day thankfull for the shaded trail. never like to run on pea gravel but it was a flat railroad course. great aid stations with fantastic volunteers for the size of the race. pushing plenty of water and Gatorade. race directors were riding course looking out and helping everyone that looked in need. Great job

As previous Revel races the downhills are fast, challenging and painful when not able to train on hills. But the scenery of the mountains is always so relaxing while cruising at faster pace.

Run through Churchill Downs was excellent. Good fan support and energy on front half. Crossing river to IN for 2nd. half added to this unique design. very nice area for post-race event at Lynn center

Great rail trail course in Boring. Scenery and shade was very relaxing. Fan support and hydration stations really were great for motivation. certainly recommend this race to 50 staters and others looking for a good priced easy to get too race.
