M. C. from Clinton, Washington (6/3/2007)
"You Can't Beat the Price!!!" (about: 2007)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Green River Marathon
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 1


This is a low-key, well organized event. No race numbers, and no entry fees, but great aid stations and lots of fun. I was amazed that every aid station featured water and sports drink (remember, the entry fee is $0). There was even one station with Gu. I had to stop and check my directions four times, but did not get lost. The weather was warm for Seattle (70s) and the course may have been a bit long (or I just had a slow day). I would definitely do it again.

"Great local race for all running abilities." (General Comments)

11-50 previous marathons | 3 Green River Marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


You can tell that the race directors of this event really care about having a fun atmosphere for runners. It is about friends getting together to push each other through a full marathon or relay teams of any size and ability that can come out to experience the fun as well without feeling pressure of "a big marathon event." These guys do a great job.

"Informal run inclusive of all levels of runners" (General Comments)

4-5 previous marathons | 4-5 Green River Marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 1


This marathon encourages participation of all types of runners, including relay teams, first-timers and old pros. Friendly atmosphere with well-placed/stocked aid stations and a festive finish.
