"outstanding race. gorgeous course!" (about: 2002)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


The course is the most scenic I've ever run (30 marathons). Prety easy, well supported. Great accommodations.

"Excellent marathon for first timers!" (about: 2002)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 2


Since this was my first marathon, I wanted something small. The organization was beyond belief. Everything was taken care of for the runners. A few more fans would have been nice, but it was February.
Would definitly run this one again.

"some moderate hills, but a very scenic route" (about: 2002)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


Some moderate hills. Water about every three miles w/gatorade every other water stop. A lot of half marathoners.
 

A Runner from Florida (2/6/2002)
"PEACEFUL WOODED ROLLING HILLS" (about: 2002)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 1


Beautiful, peaceful rolling hill course through callaway gardens. Friendly, helpful race staff. Course runs mostly on bike paths through landscaped pine forest. Good marathon for runners wanting a small intimate event. Nice shirts, but medals were mediocre. Expo small, but any last minute needs were available. Plenty of fluids on course. Post race stretch by Hughston clinic staff was great. Results posted online quickly.

"Pretty, rolling course w/clear routes & good volu." (about: 2002)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


Did the 1/2 - Well organized and sponsored. Easy check in. Nice setup for parking, bathrooms, and post race activities. Very supportive and vocal volunteers at stations. Rolling hills with second half harder than first ... would do it again !

"A new and scenic marathon" (about: 2001)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


The Callaway Gardens Marathon is a new marathon that is part of a fitness series put on by Huston Sports Medecine Clinic. It was my first marathon and I highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of running their first marathon. It is a two lap course though but you don't notice. There were few spectators but they were really supportive. This year will be the fourth annual marathon and I intend on running it again.
