 "Great race, with a great feature I'd never seen" (about: 2010)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Green Bay Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 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. | |

 "A fantastic first marathon" (about: 2010)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Green Bay Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 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. | |

"Everything was great!" (about: 2010)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Green Bay Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 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. | |

"First-class event!" (about: 2010)
11-50 previous marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 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. | |

"First Class" (about: 2010)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Green Bay Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 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! | |

"What a great race!" (about: 2010)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Green Bay Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 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. | |

"Great course, organization, and friendly people" (about: 2009)
11-50 previous marathons
| 2 Green Bay Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was the second year I ran this race. I'm in the early stages of the 50 state quest but ran Green Bay again because it's truly a great race. The organization equals or surpasses other marathons I've run. If you are looking to run your first marathon or 100th marathon, I highly recommend this race. The expo and pasta dinner are both held inside Lambeau. Plenty of vendors at the expo and as much pasta to eat at dinner as you could want. Also available were meetings to go over the course and ask the race director any and all questions. The race itself begins outside of Lambeau and you can use the indoor bathrooms (or outside port-a-potties) before (and after) the race. Lambeau is a good place to stay warm before the race begins. I experienced no problems at the start of the race and pacing groups are available if you want them. The course itself takes you through a variety of residential areas then runs along a scenic path by the river. Generally it is flat and plenty of musical entertainment is provided along the way. I personally did not run well (upset stomach) but that had nothing to do with the race. The funny part was around mile 20 they offered A&W Root Beer alongside of water and Gatorade at the aid station. In desperation I drank the root beer and was pleased to find out that it settled my stomach and I was then able to complete the race without discomfort. Of course, the best part of the race is running through Lambeau just before the race ends. Friends and family can sit in the stands to watch you run by - pretty cool. Post-race food is fine, and beer and brats are available. I already have this race on my 2010 calendar. The organizers of this race do an outstanding job. 'Nuff said! | |

"First Marathon was great!!" (about: 2009)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Green Bay Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 This was my first full marathon and it was great! I would definitely recommend this race to any runner. I traveled from Virginia to visit my sister and run this race. Besides the fact that my wonderful family was at certain points to support me along the way, the race was very organized. The Cellcom had plenty of water, Gatorade, supporters, funny motivational signs, and gels all the way through! There were very few light hills, NICE people, clear markers, great weather... and BEER and brats at the finish!! Only in Green Bay! :) |
