It is a two loop course going through historic downtown and around the city. It has a great atmosphere with tons of people cheering on over entire course. It is a very flat course.
The Good:
Aid stations are evenly distributed (about every 5k) – Water on all of them, variation of gatorade on every other.
There were couple of food stations – bananas, oranges.
The Bad:
No enforcement of corals – I’ve seen D coral people in the very front – very frustrating to pass on cobble stone (right at the start)
Porta-potties are accessible by general public which means you stand in line behind people that do not run wondering whether you make it to the start line on time.

The race was held on a Sunday and started in the town center. Overall, the course was flat. There were so many spectators throughout the course. It was as if the entire town was out in attendance.
The last half mile is gated off so you are in a chute. There are tons of people cheering you on. This was an amazing experience to finish off the race.
If you are looking for an international race with thousands of spectators, I would highly recommend this one.
