M. A. from Detroit metropolitan area. (9/23/2010)
"Race director did a great job. Very enjoyable." (about: 2010)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Armed Services Marathon (prev. Oktoberfest Marathon)
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


The race is very well organized.
There was a storm blowing through at the start time but the race director did a great job of keeping everyone informed as to when the race would begin.
The course is very pretty, with some hills.
The volunteers at the water stops were very friendly and encouraging.
Lunch at the finish was a pork sandwich - no option for vegetarians.
I would suggest another option.
Hung out at the brewhouse and ordered pizza (and beer, of course), watched the awards, and talked to many friendly people. Never met a friendlier group of runners!
Nice, long-sleeve tech shirt.
Small, no-hassle race; definitely would do it again.
