This was a great course and race! I was on track to PR, finished the half in under 2, but the second half killed me because I left my gels back in the US and wasn’t properly hydrated since I was afraid to have to find/pay for restrooms. I forgot they’re not as easily accessed in Europe like in America! Not my worst time, it was actual right in the middle. (This was my 5th marathon and my 3rd best time). I would absolutely do it again.

First of all, it’s flat for people from areas with hills, but for someone from the Gulf South, this is NOT flat lol It was rainy and cold, which made the bridges slippery, but otherwise was a good race. Finish line could’ve been a tad more organized. NYC just has me spoiled. It’s still a great race though! Highly recommend.

Super flat easy fun course! I highly recommend. Top 500 Male and female runners get a free race poster. So many fun things on the course, great views of the city. Weather is usually perfect.

One of the best full marathons that I’ve done. So smoothly run and great swag. The bridges suck (!!) but overall I enjoyed it. The crowds were great and I didn’t even need my headphones. I hope to run it again!

This was my second marathon in 6 months. The course was so welcoming and pretty. I took an hour off of my time! The past-race festival kind of sucks though. It’s ticket based and you only get 6 to all the different vendors. Other than that it’s nice.

This was my first marathon. I kind of hated it because it was so hilly!!! I do not come from a place with hills (or elevation!) so it was rough. The stretch of interstate sucked too because it was so hot and was made worse with the asphalt. I never wanted to run again after that lol. Some of the sites were nice, but the neighborhoods and parking lot areas were very unmotivating.
