A Runner from Huntington Beach, CA (10/30/2001)
"Our Capitol Again" (General Comments)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I just finished my first Marine Corps last Sunday, and my words cannot adequately describe the feeling of running with thousands of other freedom-loving marathoners (isn't freedom what distance running is all about?) through the broad streets and past the symbolic structures of our great nation's capitol. You bet I and thousands more will be back for this momentous inaugural run of the D.C. Marathon--good luck, race organizers!
 

A Runner from Memphis, Michigan (10/21/2001)
"U.S.A." (General Comments)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I look forward to a positive experience of love, healing and hope. My thoughts, hopes and belief's lie within the vast love of the human spirit. I cannot wait until March 24, 2002. U.S.A.!!!
 

A Runner from Washington DC (10/17/2001)
"expensive" (about: 2001)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 2  FANS: 5


On the good side: the course looks more interesting (actual hills!) than Marine Corp.

On the bad side: significantly more expensive than any of the other marathons around the area. Obviously, taking advantage of the situation where thousands of people are being turned away from MCM.

They get a point for using Gatorade but lose points for having no food stops.
 

A Runner from Alexandria, VA (7/26/2001)
"Brand New Race" (General Comments)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 5


If the fans and the course are anything like the Marine Corps, this could be a great one...
