This was my first marathon and I loved it. The course was scenic, hilly, and challenging. The course had plenty of water and food stops. There weren't as many spectators as I had hoped for, but I finished so far back in the pack they had probably all gone home by the time I finished! I will definitely run again next year... but only after I train harder for the hills! GOOD JOB, SPINX, AND THANKS FOR A GREAT DAY!

I was a little skeptical about entering a marathon that was put on for the first time but have to say I was very pleased. The organization and volunteers were awesome with plenty of aid stations that offered not only water but bananas and oranges. The Furman University segment was great but a lot of the race along long rural roads became dull after a while. There were a few spectators along the course and even fewer than I envisioned at the finish line. Still, it was a nice rolling hilly course that concludes in beautiful downtown Greenville. I would definitely recommend!

I wish the course had more of the downtown area involved. Furman University and Green Valley was beautiful! Poinsett Hwy was a drag. Suggestion: Have the medical support along the course more visibly noticeable (tents, perhaps). Having H20, Gatorade, oranges and bananas at every 1 1/2 miles was unlike most marathons I've run. Amazing support.... Kudos to the sponsor and volunteers. Rolling course, just perfect! Needs more spectators from community, especially on Main St. near the finish! Having Mr. Spinks welcome all finishers at 26.2 with a smile, a handshake and a medal was special. Amazing food/snacks at finish. Definitely a marathon worth running every year!
