Other factors to consider

Actually I like a large marathon for a first. (I didn't take my advise for my first only 35 runners.) For several reasons, the camaraderie of other runners when things get tough in miles 15-18. And the applause of spectators for the same reason. Also to consider. How long will the course be held open? What if you bonk or pull a muscle,etc. Do you want to finish with no official time because all have gone home? Also for a first timer the expo's are only at the larger runs and these can be a part of the fun, especially the first you attend. Plus some have speakers etc.
