    Super small, inaugural race with only 20 marathoners, but excellent organization! Race started on time, just after the RD gave a full description of the course. There were volunteers at all road crossings and turns, so it was easy to navigate the course. Runner tracking, wooden medals, and nice, soft tech shirts were all nice touches, especially for such a small race.
    There are a few hills in the first 6 miles, but after that, it’s all on a rail trail. Therefore, there are slight inclines/declines, but overall, a very pleasant run through the woods of CT.
    Due to CoVID, there was no transportation available from the finish back to the start, but Uber was readily available. I would highly recommend this race for anyone looking for a fall marathon in the Northeast.
