Very well organized race, with lots of enthusiastic volunteers/course-workers, many supportive fans, and a scenic course. I will definitely run this event again.

I ran this marathon last year. I loved the cinder path and running along the river. I even enjoyed the "hill" and how someone had parked their car with a boombox blasting the Rocky theme song. Volunteers were great! I got one of the best things ever at the end of this marathon, which I have never gotten at any other one: a wet/cold towel! That was AWESOME, since it ended up getting pretty warm out. The wicking shirt is one of my favorites! The medal could be improved, but I'm proud of it anyways.

I was able to grab a Panera Bread treat right before they ran out. I saw a lot of non-runners taking food.

Overall, this is a great race!
