 "Very Enjoyable Race - Awesome" (about: 2006)
50+ previous marathons
| 3 Regina Queen City Marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Congratulations to the organizers and volunteers - you put on a great show. The course appears to get better each year. I have run many, many marathons and I truly enjoy running the QCM course. I had one disappointment this year, albeit very minor one. Last year you had a local musician do a "Jimi Hendrix-like" rendition of "O Canada" at the race start and I was hoping to hear him again. It was a very stirring way to get the race underway. Perhaps next year. | |

 "O Canada!" (about: 2006)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Regina Queen City Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 While I've run a lot of marathons, this was my first one in Canada. Everything was first-rate, from the pre-race emails and course description on the website (very amusing) to the organization, course and enthusiastic volunteers. Packet pick-up is in a museum, a first for me and a lovely touch. The course, which goes through park after park, is well marked and peopled with folks to make sure you don't make a wrong turn (something I'm rather inclined to do). Bicyclists patrol the course too, and quite well. I appreciated the booklet in the race packet, with details and map of the start/finish area. Music along the course was grand. Really, I can't think of anything I'd change or anything that was missing. Well-done; bravo to everyone who had a hand in putting on this event. | |

"I could not believe my eyes." (about: 2006)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Regina Queen City Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 Great race as usual. Great course, great people and great memories. (But I could not believe my eyes when I saw a young girl jump out of a vehicle with her 1/2 marathon bib and cruise towards the finish line. Shame on her and shame on whoever helped her do this. Unbelievable.) | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 My thanks to the many volunteers that make this race possible. A lot of the volunteers are runners and set their goals aside to offer the rest of us an opportunity to run in Regina. My thanks to all of you. | |

 "Disappointed Walker" (about: 2006)
2 previous marathons
| 2 Regina Queen City Marathons
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I registered as a walker and completed the race as a walker. I am finding that we are not thought of as equal to the runners. I say this because when I look at the official times on the website, there is a gun time and a net time for the runners, but all that is calculated for the walkers is a gun time. I have a goal in my head and when you don't go by my timing chip, I wonder why I wear one. The gun time adds almost 5 minutes onto my time, which means I did not make my goal. That is very disappointing. Other than that, it was a great event and seemed to be very well organized. | |

"A disappointing shirt but a great run" (about: 2006)
4-5 previous marathons
| 2 Regina Queen City Marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 I was really disappointed in the shirt given to the half-marathon runners. Not only is it non-technical, it doesn't even say "half-marathon" on it! I won't be wearing the shirt as I don't feel proud to wear it, and without that pride it's just another t-shirt. I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY MORE $$$ FOR A TECHNICAL SHIRT IN THE FUTURE. The food tent had a long line-up and I much prefer being able to get my own food rather than having it doled out to me. I understand the need to keep food costs under control; however, it's no good to have to stand and wait for 15 minutes for a cookie after a hard run. The half-marathon course was well-supported and I liked the changes to the route. The medal is excellent! Looking forward to next year - thanks! | |

 "Great new course, but disappointed in t-shirts!!" (about: 2006)
4-5 previous marathons
| 3 Regina Queen City Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Thank you for putting on such a great event! Everything was fantastic. I run both Regina and Saskatoon and Regina always comes out on top. I do agree with the comments I have heard; we would like to see nicer shirts next year. People are willing to pay a little more for registration just to get the cool mesh long-sleeved shirts. A lot of people were saying they don't plan on wearing these shirts, which is too bad. The course change was a big improvement - it seemed to go faster, and was not as boring! Thank you once again to all involved for a job well done. See you next year. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Thank you for the great organization. I loved the music on the course, esp. the East Indian music. We all had a great time, young and old alike, in our group. | |

 "What An Amazing Marathon Expierence!" (about: 2005)
2 previous marathons
| 1 Regina Queen City Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 Hi, I'm 13 years-old and I'm from Saskatoon. I ran in the marathon last September (September 11 2005). What an amazing experience it was! The morning of the race I woke up at our friend's house in Regina and felt more sick then I ever thought I could feel. I was running in the marathon as a relay team - I was the 3rd runner, and was running 12 KM. When I met up with my team at the starting line I was so sick I was just about throwing up. Luckily one of our runners took me for a walk and just talked to me - turns out it was all just nerves that was getting to me. Anyway, enough about that. Now, that marathon was amazing, nice flat course for a marathon. I really also liked how they had music playing along the course - it kept you pumped and energized. All around it was an amazing marathon and experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy run. |
