 "A First Class Act" (about: 2001)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 Very few spectators along this route, but super enthusiastic volunteer group. The organization of this race couldn't be better. Comfortable tour buses shuttle you to the start line (no school buses here) where a heated tent awaits you. Once there, food, coffee, water, fruit, chairs, and potties are plentiful. Very impressive. Water and gatorade every mile! Great finish line party, nice finishers medal. All this for $30!!! I will definitely be back next year. The course is above average for speed, I was about a minute off my PR. | |

 "Excellent Event, a definite run for marathoners" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I've run in both half-marathon's this event has offered, and I ran 8 of the final 13 miles with my dad (who ran the full marathon). The first half of the course is very inviting as it's downhill for 12 of the 13 miles. There are many spectators lining the route, offering support to everybody. It is very organized as all bags are transported w/o mishaps from the starting line to a designated area after the finish. The marathon course continues along more of the cities sites going through parks and by Magic Mountain. Not a lot of shade though on the first half of the marathon as it runs alongside the Santa Clara 'River'. Half-marathon introduced 2 years ago, and looks like it will be around a while. This event also had a 5K and a kiddie K, so people with all types of talent are accommodated. I'm 17 and ran a 1:40:20 in 1999 and a 1:25:12 in 2000, and I look forward to doing ever better this year! | |

"loved it as a half-marathoner!" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 The S.C. Marathon was great because it was for the most part downhill so that's a definite bonus. It was my 2nd year running it. I ran the half-marathon and I think more people my age (13) should run it. It's an excellent experience and it's very organized. | |

"Great spirit, good support!" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Food at the expo would be nice and more booths, but overall I like the 'smallness' and community feel of this event. | |
