New England Green River Marathon 🏆
A marathon for runners

If you need big crowds this race is not for you. If you just want to enjoy a good run and set a PR, you’ve found the perfect race.
– The course is evenly sloped downhill, with a just right grade and therefore is super PR friendly. Compared to my last marathon three months ago, I PR’ed by 27 minutes.
– Although it’s in August, due to start being in the mountains (I think) and plenty of shade on the course, it didn’t feel hot.
– Plenty of aid stations.
– As the course is point to point, they offer bus from finish to start before the race.
– A lot of food at finish. Other than the typical bagel, banana, and watermelon, you also get one voucher for food truck, one ice cream, and one beer.
– Love the wood medal and cotton T-shirt.
– Bib pickup available at start on race day morning.

Pros:
– Scenic course, super PR friendly. I beat my old PR by nearly 6 minutes.
– Even though held in July, it’s not hot at all due to early start.
– Price of $60 quite good.
– Clear info on website.
– Efficient bib pickup.
– Pacers.
– Aid station every 2 miles or so.
– Pretty cool medal.
– Good after-race snacks, including ice cream and chocolate milk.
– As the race is point to point, they offer free bus between start and finish, depending on where you are staying.
– Free race photos.
Cons:
– Small crowds. I personally enjoyed the tranquil scenary and the small town feeling, but this could be a downside for some runners.
Bristol Independence Rhode Race
Humid & Hilly

Pros:
– Price of $70 quite reasonable.
– Clear info on website and in pre-race emails.
– Efficient bib pickup.
– Pacers.
– Water station every 2 miles or so.
– Pretty nice medal.
– Good after-race snacks.
Cons:
– So humid (98%), shirt and shorts got soaked by sweat after only a few miles.
– Course is very hilly, more than 600 ft total elevation gain. And there are just too many turns.
– Small crowds.
– Scenery is so-so. I just find the red-white-blue lane divider quite beautiful.
Vermont City Marathon & Relay
Fun race, beware of rolling hills

Pros:
– Clear info on website and in pre race emails (except for how hilly the course is).
– Efficient bib pick up.
– Easy parking near start.
– Provided bus from Double Tree to start, and from finish to Double Tree.
– Parts of the course are scenic, love the lake view.
– Lovely crowd at start/finish, and by the course in residential areas. Neighbors offered supplies and water sprays, so nice.
– Free race photos!
Cons:
– Website says “course is mostly flat with some rolling sections. The biggest uphill, mile 6.0-7.1 and 19.1-20.2, gains about 120′ of elevation”. I don’t think this adequately reflects how hilly the course is. My Garmin logged 856 ft. I gave this feedback to the race director, who promptly replied and said they will add more info about the course elevation gain on the website.
– It would be nice if there was a wall backdrop at either the expo or race for photos.
– Pacers only offerred for limited finish times, for example, only for 4:00 and 4:30 but nothing in between.
– It’s quite hot this year. Not anybody’s fault but just be aware.
Overall, I enjoyed the race and it’s my first marathon!
Love Run Philadelphia Half Marathon
Great spring race in Philly
Love Run Philadelphia Half Marathon
Flat course (apart from crossing a bridge twice), beautiful city tour of Philly, great production, good swags (medal, nice T-shirt which runs small, mug, and beer). Perfect weather. MORE

The course is Central Park loop x2 with 2 times running up Harlem Hill and 3 times running up Cat Hill. Pretty no-frills race but the price is way higher than a similar race organized by NYRR. I registered when I was searching a NYC half marathon in Feb and this NYCRUNS race showed up on Google ( I did not know what NYRR was then). Would not run again given the price.
NYRR Fred Lebow Manhattan Half
Harlem Hill x3 is no joke.

This race is Central Park loop x2 with 3 times running up Harlem Hill, overall a pretty tough race for me. It’s a NYRR no-frills race and the price is pretty low ($35), would be a good winter run.
