At mile 25.8, you enter a tunnel, run across a row of bricks and your breath is instantly taken away. As a lifelong Packer fan, running into Lambeau Field was the thrill of a lifetime. As a race director and marathoner, we were treated to a first-class race by director Sean Ryan, his staff, and a group of volunteers that obviously take great pride in the experience they provide to the runner. I'd recommend this race to anybody looking for a late spring marathon.

I am not sure where the comments about the river trail being slippery or hills came from?? I ran it for the fist time this year and thought it was fast with only a few small ups and downs. The wind was strong enough that you wanted to run in a pack along the river part of the course (Thanks Rick S from St Point for breaking the wind). The start was great - indoor area and enough porta johns, the course was fast, the water stops plentiful and well organized, the finish was well done with plenty of water and stuff, and the showers with towels a nice touch. Having the 1/2 marathon joining back up with the marathon at mile 24ish was difficult. It made you run around a lot of walkers that were 4 & 5 across. Lambeau was also very difficult for the same reason. There was a lot more concrete than I expected. Someone said not a PR course, but I actually tied my PR to the second from Twin Cities last year and this was a faster course. Thank you to all the volunteers - You make or break the marathon experience and you made this one for me.

Great race, great course. The loop through Lambeau Field is really special. The towels and sponges on the course were a nice touch. I hope to do this race again.

Efficient expo, pretty course, nice volunteers, getting to run inside Lambeau Field: priceless. Even the *weather* was nice (though a little warmer than I expected). This is racing the way you hoped it could be.

This was my first year at Cellcom. I read in previous threads that this was a flat, fast course! Far from the truth. Plenty of rolling hills, slippery path along the water. Nice to run for FUN, but not a P.R.-type course. The day is more for spectators.

I enjoy doing this race every year. Great organization, frequent fluid stops, enthusiastic volunteers and the chance to run around the "frozen tundra." Superior post-race food. Do this race....

I'm from Chicago. I really enjoyed the small-town flavor and the great support from all of the volunteers and fans. It was great! Thank you.

This was my first marathon and have to say I was impressed! The last 8 miles my legs felt like two anchors. My head was in a complete fog. The weather got into the 70's. Every step felt like I was running barefoot on concrete, but this marathon and the spectators made it SO worth it. I would come back again in a heartbeat. Even running along the trail on the river there were people cheering you on. 3 times I was handed GU and the water stations were so plentiful I passed a couple up. People were handing out bananas, oranges, cookies and candy along the course. And I can't tell you enough how wonderful it was to have people hand out wet washcloths along the trail and then wet sponges towards the end. Green Bay is definitely a marathon you should not pass up!

I thought this was a really nice race; the expo was well organized and the lines were quick, the support along the route was nice, and the hot weather was the only drawback. Of course, running through Lambeau Field... that experience speaks for itself. In addition, I really thought the people of Green Bay were wonderful. I'm looking forward to returning in the not-too-distant future.

Everything that was promised was delivered, and then some! The most organized race I have participated in. (I have been running for 20 years.)
