My boyfriend and I signed up for this race last minute for several reasons. The first was I had tried and failed to secure a BQ time at the marathon we had run 2 weeks prior. It wasn’t devastating because the course was for the other race wasn’t particularly easy and we planned on running another marathon in the fall. But, we had the bug and the One City Marathon was just waiting for us and the price was great, even for last minute. One City was also my partners very first marathon in 2017 and he was excited to run it again and felt the fast course would secure me the BQ I so very wanted. He was right. The race was spectacular. Well organized shuttles for the exciting point to point course, heated bathroom options at the start and a very easy gear check. The course was flat and fast with a variety of different scenery along the course to keep it interesting. The water/aid stations were abundant with many port-a-John opportunities as well. There was a lot of course support and the spectators were amazing. I especially liked the kids at the halfway point at the schools… they were great and we gave them a show! There were plenty of photographers on course and the finish line medal/snack stations were great! The finish line festival was awesome with lots of cool stuff to do and gear bag retrieval could not have been easier. The kid was handing me my bag before I got there… give that volunteer a cookie!! Food trucks and video booths made the event even more special. We will be returning next year for sure! 5 star race!
