This course is very flat and well marked. The fans that are out are very supportive. I'm not from Green Bay, but running through the stadium is still a great feeling. Pre-race pasta dinner made carbo-loading easy. The brats and beer at the finish hit the spot. Everyone in the area was friendly and very accommodating. I recommend this one.

My 45th marathon and I agree with all of the very, very positive comments. I will definitely be back next year. I just want to add one more important comment: I would not have been able to run this marathon if it were not for the "transfer" feature that the race offered. The marathon was sold out, but you could find runners who had entered but were not able to run on the race's Facebook page. I contacted one, and then she was able to transfer her entry and number to me online. I had to pay a $10 transfer fee and then arranged with her to reimburse her for her entry fee through Paypal. She recovered her entry fee, the race gained an extra $10 fee, Green Bay rented an extra hotel room, and I got to run! I would love to see other sold-out marathons offer this same feature.

This was a absolutely memorable first marathon. The course was nice and flat, the fan support outstanding and the organization and volunteers could not have been better. There was more than enough hydration support. The "Lambeau Lap" at the end was an emotionally moving experience.

I highly recommend this race to anyone interested in marathons. The course is flat and very scenic. The crowds came out everywhere to support the runners. The weather was a bonus, with sunny skies and temps topping out at about 70. The only adjustment I would like to see would be the addition of clocks at the mile-markers. Everything else was nearly perfect.

Great job, Green Bay! Thank you to all of the volunteers who gave their time and energy. The pre-race meal was outstanding, and the course was flat and scenic. I loved the path along the river. The hotel shuttles were perfect - exactly as advertised. I would do this race again.

I really appreciate the fact that there was ample Gatorade and even gel throughout the race. The course was wonderfully flat and beautiful. I am a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, but the lap around Lambeau was very special. I just had a wonderful time all around. Thank you, Green Bay, and GO PACKERS!

I was very impressed by this marathon. Everything about it is top-notch and well organized. There are a lot of water stops and excellent fan support along the course. The course is very flat and fast. The pasta feed is included in the price of your registration, which I thought was a very nice arrangement. All of the related events (expo, pasta feed) are at Lambeau Field, which can easily handle the crowds associated with the race. I stayed in a hotel about a quarter-mile from the stadium, which made getting to the race easy; but be aware that the hotels close to the stadium fill up really fast, so book early. There is also bus shuttle service from many hotels. Put this event on your schedule; it's worth doing.
