Excellent water\drink etc., aid stations; and electronic mile splits at most mile markers. Very good crowd turnout. Nice city and suburbs. Good organization. Course was a little more hilly than I had anticipated.

I was talked into running by family members that run an average of 12 marathons a year. I was excited after hearing stories for the last 3 years. I never knew Charlotte had HILLS! Water stops were great and the fans (both non-race sponsored and race sponsored) were encouraging. I was disappointed about lack of medals for the 1/2, relay, etc. Overall, good start but need to take lessons from other marathons. Family made trip down from Ohio and I hope things will change so we all can run it again next year.

Well-organized race, beautiful homes along the route, many turns, which added interest. The pasta dinner could have been nicer and should have been held in the hotel rather than in a tent outside.

Plenty of port-o-johns, water & Powerade every 2 miles, at least 4 Gu stops and good fan support for a first marathon. Hilly, tough course, but great weather, not a PR course. Would run again.

Overall good marathon.... Very few spectators.... Skip the pasta dinner.... Good cold day; missed my PR by 18 seconds.

This was the first relay marathon I've done and things went off without a hitch. Format was great as it allowed my son to run the short middle leg and my brother finished things up.

This was great for a first year and I plan to run the full marathon next as things will be even better.
