A challenging race in a beautiful setting. Not a PR course but one you would like to do again. A great pasta dinner. Lots of awards. Friendly people.
Extra ade on the course. Excellent traffic control--almost no traffic. Clean fresh air. JUST WONDERFUL. Andy

This made my 13th marathon, and I really enjoyed this one. Resonably challenging, but not too difficult. Is it possible to have too many water stops?
Volunteers were great. Many thanks to them, and we'll be back next year.

a good bit of the course is run with the traffic-----coal trucks play chicken with you for the first ten miles---then the heat sets in ---add to that the lack of fluids on the course---and you are broken in right--for a feud of some kind
