A Runner from Tennessee (9/10/2001)
"Dissappointing" (about: 2000)


COURSE: 2  ORGANIZATION: 1  FANS: 2


I was unable to run the Chicago Marathon due to a conflict in my schedule and chose to run this one instead. Organization was awful. They couldn't give the results after the race due to a computer failure. I later found out I placed in my age group but was never contacted or given any type of award. I traveled from Tennessee to run this race, but would not do it again.
 

A Runner from Philadelphia, PA (7/29/2001)
"Not a very well attended race for obvious reasons." (about: 2000)


COURSE: 2  ORGANIZATION: 2  FANS: 1


Running on the Boardwalk was nice, but much of the course was looping back and forth along the streets of Atlantic City. Not very scenic. Hardly any spectators. Where was Donald Trump? He could have at least shaken my hand at the finish.
 

A Runner from New York (6/25/2001)
"terrible" (about: 1999)


COURSE: 1  ORGANIZATION: 1  FANS: 1


I ran this as my first marathon and would not suggest this to anyone. Not knowing that I actually won first place for my age category until the little post card came in the mail. I tried every way possible to contact the event organizers to claim my prize ( You know how important that is when it is your first marathon). After several unsuccesfull attemps of letters, emails, and voice mail message I gave up. Don't bother running. The course was even worse. No crowd support and you ran on the perimeter of a street and then the inside of the same street as part of the course. Not good at all.

"seems to be getting worse every year" (about: 2000)


COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 1  FANS: 1


Not promoted. Couldn't even get a bottle of water at the beginning of the race - a woman told me it was for staff only till after the race. I only ran the half marathon.
