This was my 17th marathon and it was a great adventure, thanks to Marathon Tours. They packaged a 4-day trip with all of the must-stops in Havana, and took care of all of our needs. I would not run this race any other way. The course was scenic. There was plenty of water along the way that was given out by volunteers in sealed bags. You had to be a little careful to not slip on a discarded water bag. For me, the biggest challenge, was the car exhaust. Being a Sunday morning, every one is on their way to church or the market. Cars were backed up for blocks, waiting for us to cross the intersection, with their leaded gasoline cars, spewing exhaust. fortunately, I ran with a bandana, and used it to cover my mouth. The only other negative was that I learned that I placed first in my age group after I returned home. The medal is waiting for my in Havana as they are not allowed to mail it to me.
