By far the best half marathon I've ever participated in! One small complaint: the line for post-race food was ridiculous. If it had been my first half, I would have passed out by the time I got food (30 minutes later!). It should have been come-and-go and volunteers could have steered runners away from the tents as soon as they got food. Waiting that long to eat after you run for 2+ hours was a bit unacceptable. The line was a HUGE deterrent. I went straight to the beer tent where there was no line (no complaint there), but I would have appreciated a banana or something right as I finished. Great beer selection, though!

Pros: great parking
Quick access to the start line
Small marathon - didn't have to weave in and out of runners
Great tech finisher shirts
Cons:
No pace markers
Hilly course - not flat as promoted
Weather had the dreaded 2 H's - hot and humid

This was my first half-marathon and I have zero complaints. It was professionally managed and directed by Chris. His facebook updates/emails were always informative and motivating. I felt he was more of a friend helping me prepare rather than simply the race coordinator. The course and spectators were all awesome! See you next year!

Had such a blast for my first Half Marathon! Fans on the road to cheer us on was awesome, the organization of it all was perfect. I've definitely got the bug to do more!

I ran BCS Marathon last year and again this year, and I will next year and the year after... Chris and his Team are simply the Best. The communication excellent; quick turn around time when you ask questions. And the spectators were just awesome. Folks that just came out of their homes and didn't stop clapping and encouraging.
If you are looking for a Great Run, Chris is your Director, BCS is that run.

Well organized race. Will definitely be running again next year.

Suggestions:
Despite the increased number of port-a-potties, there were still very long lines at the start. I would also have liked to see more on the course. There were lines at every single one throughout the half course. However, the biggest problem was a lack of toilet paper, especially at the finish.

Kid's Marathon - please have more volunteers on the course. I didn't run with my 8-yr-old because we were told they would be well-supervised. However, my daughter never made it to the finish line. After falling behind and finding no one in front of her, she turned around and started walking back until she saw an adult to ask where to go (she doesn't know if it was a race volunteer or a spectator). She was then escorted back to the start. She was happy to still receive a medal but I was trying to hide the angst I was feeling of not knowing where she was for over 30 minutes.

Loved this race from start (sign up) to finish. The organization is superb! I was informed throughout the entire season, and felt really pumped and enthusiastic the morning of the race, even with this year's balmier conditions.
Pre-race expo was fantastic, with lots of booths, and even a set up by the local running store, so you could buy any last minute items.
Packet pick-up was a breeze, and parking was great, easy in and easy out.
Post-race food selection was amazing!
The course for the full-marathon is mostly flat, with the major hills just about the half-way mark.
I will definitely run this race again, and if I don't, I'm going to find out what I can do to volunteer.

Loved running the race again this year.
Very well organized and great crowd!

This was my first ever half marathon. This race definitely set my standards pretty high for the next ones to come. I will definatly be coming back next year. Also best stress reliever for finals EVER!

The location, the aid stations, the spectators, the organization, the hype, the cause...all of them are the best quality I have ever seen in a race.
