 "Diamond in the rough!!!" (about: 2011)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 YMCA Stone Bridge Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I've run 18 previous marathons, and this ranks right up at the top. The course is fabulous, shaded, fun, flat and fast. The support is tremendous. Perfectly spaced water stations, and the medical guy on the 3 wheeler was very professional. Very positive experience, and if you want to avoid the big city, big marathon hassles, this is perfect. But stay in Rockford or Beloit. Not near the start. I'll be back many more times. Loved it. GFK | |

"The MOST beautiful marathon" (about: 2011)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 YMCA Stone Bridge Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This tiny marathon features the most beautiful run, the first 11 miles feature gently rolling country roads with the last 15 miles on a tree lined asphalt covered railroad bed. Runner support was outstanding for any size marathon. Spectators were enthusiastic but limited to a couple dozen. | |

 "Beautiful marathon great course & oragnization" (about: 2011)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 YMCA Stone Bridge Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This was a beautiful marathon. More than half on trails covered by trees in their fall colors providing shade from the sun. It was very well organized with only 50 folks running it in only its 2nd running. This is a real diamond in the rough of a marathon. Lots of opportunities for fast times, great aid stations spaced just right, plenty of volunteers. | |

"wonderfully organized beautiful course" (about: 2011)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 YMCA Stone Bridge Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This is a 2nd running Marathon. Race is over a beautiful course well laid out over half of it on a beautiful tree covered asphalt or crushed rock trail. Well supported with aid stations every couple miles, sufficient portal potties, plenty of great cheerful volunteers. Few rolling hills in the first half and flat after that through tree lined trail which was beautiful with the trees changing colors. This is a diamond in the rough just waiting to be discovered. Only 50 ran it this year. I project it will grow rapidly. | |

 "Great fast course" (about: 2010)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 YMCA Stone Bridge Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 This is a great small marathon. It is along country roads for the first part of the race ending on the Stone Bridge trails that give us a down hill last half of the race with the last three miles being really down hill. There is not much room for spectators along the trail, but there are cross streets where people can cheer you on. The support crew is great and the race director is top notch. |
