 "An excellent small-sized marathon event!" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Brookings Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Thank you for a great marathon on Saturday! My buddy, Mike, and I traveled from Northfield, MN to run in your event and we are both happy that we did. Your course was marked very, very well and your volunteers were FAN-tastic! They were all very friendly and helpful, and most important, they appeared to be happy that they were there... even when it began to rain! I was a little concerned when I first accessed your course map on your website. It looked to me like a circuitous route that one of the little kids in 'The Family Circus' (Sunday newspaper comic section) might take when going next door to borrow an egg for his mother... going here, going there, turning around here, etc., but I was pleasantly surprised that at every turn and at every place that one might be confused there was a volunteer guiding us in the correct direction! Mike and I have each completed 20+ marathons on a total of over 20 different courses so we believe we can speak with some authority when we say, 'Your marathon and your efforts were terrific!' Again, thank you. Richard Daymont Northfield, MN | |

 "Nice little marathon, despite the weather" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Brookings Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This is a very well organized course with some great volunteers. It was cold and wet (I actually ran in some sleet at one point) but there were still volunteers out on the course everywhere. The course was well marked, but with lots of turns. There is a nice combination of parks and neighborhoods. The 5th mile marker was well short (about .85 miles according to my GPS) and I did not like some of the short stretches on the grass, which was not smooth and was hard on my ankles, but those are the only 2 things I had a problem with (other than the weather). Again... best volunteers I have ever been associated with. Well done. | |

"Great course and atmosphere." (about: 2000)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Brookings Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 I ran the half-marathon. Major surgery in February prevented me from preparing for the marathon. Great improvement in the course in Brookings. Volunteers, aid stations, and the general public were great. Ran a good share of the half-marathon course with a marathoner from San Francisco. Truly enjoyed the visit. |
