    Excellent race organization, unique finisher awards and other quirky awards, and nice logo. The volunteers were excellent! There’s also a relay going on so nice to see fresh runners throughout the course. This marathon has really matured over the years and they do a wonderful job.

    This was the most challenging Marathon I’ve run to date. The Route had sloping hills nearly the entire way with 2 major inclines. I do Not recommend this for first-timers. 1 memoriable mention was the run by the lower river basin, there was a stink that almost made all runners pass out (pretty rank). This course was a rural run which added to the scenic run (Fantastic) and made this very rewarding and enjoyable but scored the low scores due to lack of any course support. Nature was your port-a-potty (BYO T-P). I had a solid 20m but the wheels fell off the last 10K. Still glad I ran this event.
