Small, well organized race. Biloxi is an hour and a half drive from New Orleans airport where I flew into. I stayed in the Doubletree by Hilton which was easy walking distance to the bus shuttles and the finish line at MGM park. Morning bus shuttles were plentiful and ran as described out to the start of the point to point race. Gear check was provided to bring items you did not want to run with back to the start. My only complaint about the whole experience was the limited number of porta pottys at the start line, I was glad to have taken an early shuttle. The route is flat with beachside views almost the entire way along Highway 90. Crowd support was sparse but it was very rainy and windy. Traffic was well managed by local police. Afterparty included beer, Core Power and gumbo and a big screen featuring runners as they got to the finish line. Unfortunately, given the rain, not too many runners were hanging around to celebrate but it would have been nice on a day with better weather. Biloxi has plenty of accommodations and restaurants; there are also plenty of restaurants and shops in nearby Ocean Springs. I ran the 5K the day before as a shakeout which was also a great beachside course. Medals were very nice, unique shell shape that opened with designs inside as well. I recommend this marathon.

Beautiful Mountain Course starting at 6am. It is a bit challenging with some uphill at the start, which is 10,000+ feet in elevation, but the scenery cannot be beat running through the canyon. Once you get past the first 5 or so miles the course is downhill and flat at the end when you reach town. The race directors do a phenomenal job on race organization and communication before and after the race. There are busses from town to the start area, which was also well organized, with plenty of porta potties, warm up wraps, bag drop, etc. The course included plenty of well stocked aid stations with friendly supportive volunteers. Great shirt options and useful swag. Beaver is a small town which seems to rally around the race. Finishing area celebration included plenty of food options and and ice cream truck. Received a printed finisher certificate at the finish line. Highly recommend this marathon!
