 "Must Do - AGAIN" (about: 2009)
11-50 previous marathons
| 2 Tecumseh Trail Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 This was my second Tecumseh, and my 21st marathon. It was a beautiful experience, once again. The organization is fantastic and the people treat you like relatives. The course is the most challenging I have ever run, and that's why I'll be back. The hill at mile 13 must be man-made, because God would not do that to us. Thanks, DINO guys! | |

 "Wonderfully Rough Day" (about: 2009)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Tecumseh Trail Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 I only have two comments about this race; 1. Tecumseh must have been one tough SOB. This is a beast of a course. We were lucky it was dry with sunshine. 2. This is a humbling course. You think you're well trained... but this course is the ultimate test. "Challenging course" is pure modesty. | |

 "Another GREAT day in the woods!" (about: 2009)
6-10 previous marathons
| 2 Tecumseh Trail Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 What a great day! Perfect December weather: a cold, clear, sunny day. The course was well marked; I had no problems following the pink markers. Creeks were running with water, requiring many crossings - loved it! Organization was spot on. Aid stations were well stocked with water, Gatorade and goodies. Great job! Little spectator support, but very enthusiastic. I don't expect or want much for a trail marathon. If you haven't run this one, put it on your list of things to do, but you better make sure to be well conditioned. This is not a flat road course! Loved it and will be back next year. | |

"What an introduction to trails!" (about: 2009)
4-5 previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my first trail marathon, and it was both beautiful and brutal! I loved it! Though my time was 2 hours slower than my road marathon PR, I had an incredible sense of achievement after successfully navigating the huge hills, dozens of stream crossings and rocky, rooted trails. Great food and atmosphere at the end, and the best aid stations I've ever encountered. Definitely a must-run! | |

 "One great marathon adventure" (about: 2009)
11-50 previous marathons
| 4-5 Tecumseh Trail Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Great course, organization, and post-race food. This was my 5th Tecumseh Marathon and it never disappoints. This year's additions of festive signs and music were a great touch. I'm still smiling about the garland on one of the footbridges. Nice touch! It's true that some people need to be more aware of if they are slowing others down and not littering on the trail. The course is challenging and you never know about the weather. Sometimes even the bus drivers need help from the runners on how to get to the start but it's all part of the charm that makes Tecumseh one great marathon adventure. | |

"Amazing Adventure In A Winter Wonderland." (about: 2008)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Tecumseh Trail Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my 5th full marathon and one of my favorites. It's not comparable to any other race that I've run in. The scenery was beautiful! It snowed for more than half of the race, but it added to the beauty and adventure of the experience. This is the first marathon that I've run that did not feel like 26.2 miles. I was so focused on weaving in, out, up and down the trail and trying not to slip (which I did several times) that I didn't really think about the miles. At times, I felt like I was on an obstacle course, dodging branches, leaping over logs and climbing snow-covered hills. I thought the volunteers and the aid stations were great. I was thrilled to be served a cup of hot chocolate at mile 18. Also, at the finish line, they served vegetable soup, which delighted me since I'm a vegetarian. I will return! | |

"Amazing Race!" (about: 2008)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Tecumseh Trail Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my first trail marathon and it was without a doubt the best marathon I have ever run! The scenery was beautiful and the course was packed full of fun. While there were some minor problems, like buses being late, it all added to the charm of running in the snow on a trail. I cannot wait for December 2009! | |

"I think I saw a Yeti!" (about: 2008)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Tecumseh Trail Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I've run a lot of trail races and this one was impressive! It was beautiful because of the snow, but tricky because of the snow. Everyone from newbies to the experienced will find this a treat. Come prepared and over pack. Even if you don't think you'll need it, bring it! |
