    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.

    * The RD gave details about the course at the start
    * Morning bib pickup
    * Parking right by the start/finish line
    * beautiful scenery, bike path
    * top-notch national anthem singer
    * enthusiastic volunteers
    * enthusiastic timing staff (someone gave me a printout of my result and my age group award at the end!)
    * despite it being my 3rd worse time ever, and finishing 3rd to last, I won an AG award! yay small races!
    * my slow time was (I suspect–lots of time to reflect from miles 18-26) a result of this being my 10th marathon in 365 days… or the ‘overreaching’ at Pocatello 3 weeks prior…
    * The course was very doable, but it’s still 26.2 miles!
    * it was raining from mile 7-14, then 17-end (for me). nice temps and partly-cloudy–no need for sunglasses 🙂
    * I enjoyed the course on the bike path, with the two spurs. It gave a bit of variety, and a chance to see people. I was alone for quite a while in a small race like this (which was to be expected).
    * nice swag–the medal and shirt are nice, the jelly beans and lip balm hit the spot for me!
    * easy logistics to fly in/out of PDX, stay in the burbs.

    Gotta love a race where one of the sponsors is the Boring Brewery! Nice, well-run marathon with that comfortable, small-town feel. Most of the course is on a rails-to-trails system, so level, secluded, verdant and quiet. Great aid stations with enthusiastic staffers to help you along. Particularly enjoyed the Luau Station at Mile 16; can personally recommend their rum punch. The Boring race shirt and Boring medal will bring a smile and the swag bag included a Boring Brewery pint glass and goat soap! What’s not to like?!?
