    The full marathon was not in the least bit organized. I was incredibly disappointed. No mile markers, very few aid stations and no timers. There was a woman sitting at the finish line writing down our time. Really? I can’t believe how unorganized this event turned out to be. I would not recommended to anyone.

    Race starts out downhill on road until get to the Silver Comet Trail. The trail is asphalt except for the bridges which some are cement. Plenty of water/gatorade stops. Nice weather this year. 100% cotton short sleeve shirt for half marathon.

    This is the worst organized race I’ve ever run. I did the Half Marathon and my husband the Full. At the end we both got the same cheap short sleeve t-shirts that says “Half Marathon”. Also, there were no mile markers or police officers at intersections for the Full Marathoners. They only organized the well being of Half Marathoners. I love Silver Comet Trail, but my family will not run this race again and I don’t recommend it to anybody.

    Flat course if that's what you like. It was perfect weather this year. The shirt was long sleeve in the past, but short sleeve this time. MORE

    I’ve run this race twice. Once in 2013, finished first OF. No finishing pictures of me were available. RD was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She was struggling with all the logistics in part of the race. In an attempt to help her, I communicated with other finishers who had questions since she seemed stress. She screamed at me. I learned later this is common. (Weird that I’m the only one that had to pictures during this race after her tantrum).

    Despite that, I ran it in 2014 and finished second OF. After waiting around for 3 hours for the awards (because RD refused to give them out early), I was then told that the second OF was the only award that was broken and they didn’t even give me my broken award.

    It’s a nice flat course for Georgia. Not worth it. Choose one where the RD is kind and more organized.
