 "....An outstanding way to exercise...." (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Congratulations to the entire race staff for a fan(me)tastic marathon. You get to run in commodious vistas and intimate river environs. The pre-race dinner was excellent & the shirts, cokes, etc generous. The people including the race organizers were personable and pleasing. The pass to the 'Trail Museum' was worthwhile. the volunteers - thank you - & aid stops were superb, and the post-race refreshments sating. I especially enjoyed the post post-race party. if you're going to exercise, 'Run Wyoming-Casper'! | |

 "Great small-town marathon" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 What a great race. Well-organized. How about the refreshments at the end. As much beer as you could drink, ice-cold Bud Light and Michelob. Pizza and barbecue, cold Cokes for you and the family. Very friendly staff and organizers. What a great little town. I wouldn't mind running part of the marathon through the downtown area if possible. It doesn't seem like traffic control would be a major problem. From the time we checked in on Saturday the race staff made us feel welcome. You can't say that about very many big city marathons. | |

"Great small marathon with TLC" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This was my 13th marathon and the smallness of it was great. Price break at the host hotel and they let you check out at 1:00 PM so you could shower after the event. The first half of the course was great, mostly flat and downhill. The last half was hot with the wind blowing in your face for part of it. The out-and-back was a little tough mentally because of the repeat. The finish was great, I have never finished a marathon and been greeted by an EMT who asked if I was OK. (I must have looked bad?) I had the pleasure of running the last 6 miles or so with Marcia from Charleston, SC, it was her first marathon and it gave me great satisfaction to see her finish. Overall a great organized event and the refreshments at the end were great too. | |

 "Great people and organization" (about: 2004)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 The best things were the friendly, helpful people and great organization. What I didn't like was the overly circuitous route; just too many turns, especially in the first few miles. And unfortunately the bike path where so much of the race occurs, is concrete, a little hard on the body. I could add the hot day, but that was probably an anomaly. I did get very dehydrated (my own fault). It was windy, but not bad enough to make much difference. Overall, a great small marathon in a nice, quiet, friendly city. | |

"Doesn't get any better than this!" (about: 2004)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 This marathon meets all the overall requirements to be a five star event. Beyond meeting all your needs the people of Casper, the beauty of a sunrise, and the quietness of the moment just doesn't get any better than this marathon. I live in West Virginia but Casper is 'Almost Heaven'. | |

"Very windy and hot" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 The weather didn't want to cooperate this year - it was very windy and much hotter than I anticipated. The course consists of two sections. The first is a strange circuitous route back and forth and around the recreation center (where it starts), then heads down toward the river for the second portion. Once you get on the path near the river, there are trees, pleasant smells and sounds of nature, and the scenery is nice. I was told that an attempt is being made to make more of the course near the river next year. The volunteers and spectators were very pleasant and friendly. The aid stations were well-supplied with water, sports drink, and occasionally Gu, bananas, and orange wedges. The organization seemed to be well done - especially since this is only the second year of the marathon. In summary, this is a well-run small marathon in a relatively remote place. | |

"I look forward to running in the 2005 Marathon!" (about: 2004)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I really enjoyed running the 2004 Casper Marathon. The volunteers at the aid stations and finish line were very helpful. The Platte River Parkway is a great trail run. Have you thought about having the marathon on a different date? Several reasons: heat and other marathons (Mickelson and Steamboat Springs) in the area on the same day. | |

 "How Important is Elevation?" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Casper Wyoming Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 COURSE: The course is awesome for a weekend long run. Beautiful open country with rolling hills and antelope followed by nice river trail. As for 'speed of course', I question the importance and effects of elevation and high altitude. (I live at 3200' and the race was run at about 5200'). ORGANIZATION: Everything is very well thought out - location of aid stations (most serve 2 points during the race), host hotel, shuttle service, etc., etc. As always, I drank at every aid station; Unfortunately this time I became dehydrated. Once again I'm wondering if elevation was a factor. SPECTATORS: I don't give a damn if anyone watches me. | |

"Outstanding first-time marathon" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 Outstanding first-time marathon. Great not to have to run at 8000 ft. If you stay at the host hotel, it can't get any easier. Shuttle to the start, and back to the hotel. Shirt and medal were above average. Great volunteers and well manned water stops. Fantastic selection of food and snacks at the finish, even numerous random prizes. No monster hills, though there was one hill at 24 miles that is certainly at an inopportune time. Kudos to race director and his staff for a first-class first-timer. Would reccommend Casper to anyone looking for a marathon in Wyoming. | |
