This race was great from the packet pickup to the finish line. There was one part towards the end where (part of the road where the stones used to make the beautiful road didn’t feel good under my feet.
I loved the scenery along the race, crowd support was awesome! The challenge on the bridge was fun to watch, I didn’t participate, the finish line was great as there was a huge screen in the field playing the World Cup game. They were able to still watch and support their rugby team(All Blacks) that sadly lost this year to a South Africa team.Great race, awesome people, will recommend.

NYC was awesome! My 2nd World Major Marathon.I wasn’t fully prepared for that late start however, it was a nice weather day. Troy and another young lady gave me a couple of bars to tide me over however, once we went into our corral, we saw the bagels and coffee. I had no idea about that. That would have been nice if I had known eariler. Great crowd support until the end of the race, ran out of cups during the middle of the race but later on there were more cups, thank God.

So I did the IMCHOO RELAY… This is more than likely my last IMCHOO Relay as my company {McKee Foods} sponsored my team. This run was my 2nd time, I have ran a lot of races here in Chattanooga but this is the best race course! I love when I make it to Barton {Northshore area} so much crowd support over that way, the people engage with you and I live[race] for that. So fun!
I love when I get close by and can hear names of people becoming an Ironman. It’s awesome!

This was a great race. I was in Wolfsburg for 3 days. This race was so nice, I enjoyed seeing parks, I saw a beach near a hotel, we ran through Autostadt (Volkswagen museum). Great crowd support! People calling your name as you ran, so fun. I met and ran most of the race with a young lady from Hamm. There were so many things to see, pictures to take. I really enjoyed it. I think we ran through a Football stadium. Hydration was great, they also has sponges to cool you off. After party was great, medals and tops(given at the end) were pretty!!!

First off I went to this race with 200 more, this was a large group. Fun was to be had. The scenery in Alaska was breathtaking, I couldn’t get enough since I’m a mountain chick. The race was a fast start, downhill, it was on a paved trail in a park. I loved looking at the soft looking grass, the ponds, the inlet. It was a great run. They did however add .3 of a mile and it was all uphill… great race tho.

The race was great! Great volunteers (cheering us on), very organized. The scenery was great. I loved seeing all of the friendly officers there, they cheered us on(love that) our officers in Chattanooga are like that and it’s always got see.
What we didn’t know is that you don’t get a medal unless you place. It’s all good because the hubs and I both place.

This was a great small race! Beautiful country scenery, the people were nice. At the finish, we got a couple of Lemon Moon Pies and a chicken sandwich, banana and an RC cola. The topping on the cake for me was the freeze pops! So good! A guy was cutting the top off of them and placing them in a box for us to grab. Did you know that besides the Banana, Vanilla and Chocolate Moon Pies the is also Lemon(Limited Edition), Salted Carmel and Strawberry.

This race never happened because it was cancelled since Covid 19 hit. I was able to get into this race through a virtual. Dan popped on the computer to hopefully get a slot for 1 of the 500 slots, he got it, I ran it which gave me entry into NYC Marathon

Packet pickup was great, very well organized. Expo was nice, great vendors so if you left anything at home ie: run shoes, hat, gloves not to worry, you can get what you need at the expo. Great race, weather was cold at the start but got better towards the end. Route was a lollipop. Security was great, volunteers were great.

I was on a relay team. My biker at mile 8 had a fight with two water bottles that fell from a biker in front of him and he lost!! Scraped up and messed up gear shift, he made it 102 miles where he just couldn’t walk the hills anymore (stuck in high gear). We sadly didn’t complete our mission. Until next year…

Beautiful scenery, the run was around the man made beach the later in the paved trails. The biking doesn’t disappoint. Know how to and be ready to switch gears on a dime, the hills will pop out at you before you know it. It’s a beautiful ride and the second loop is over before you know it.
