A Runner from Milwaukee, WI (9/4/2002)

"A genuine and hospitable marathon" (about: 2002)

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2

This is a small marathon with few volunteers. However, I found the race director and those that did volunteer to be extremely hospitable and genuinely interested in my welfare. When I was concerned about missing my flight out (a 3 hr drive away) the race director gladly let me start an hour early. During the race, local runner's spouses pulled over in their cars and provided on the spot fluids and fruits.

A Runner from Texas (9/5/2000)

"bare bones" (about: 2000)

COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1

This marathon is for a good cause and the organizers genuinely attempt to put on a good race. Very small race. Course is on the shoulder of a highway for 24 of the 26 miles. Many of the water stations are not manned by volunteers and runners must help themselves to water left in containers. No crowd support whatsoever. Not a certified course. Race starts at 5:30 am with a 5K starting at 8:00 am so it is dodge the slow 5K runners for the top marathoners.
