 "Lovely destination event" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 The winding course may make you dizzy, but the setting is lovely if you like to stay in a fabulous resort and run between salt marshes, egrets, pelicans, and multi-million dollar homes! Fantastic medals, shirts, and enthusiastic volunteers in a quiet gated oceanside resort make this a great family destination race. Traffic and spectators are almost nonexistent. | |

 "Great course with limited fan support" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 Scenic run through neighborhoods, golf courses, wetlands, etc. Most island accomodations are close to the start with shuttles running continuously-very convenient. If you're looking for a PR and can live without big city crowds, this race is a must. | |

"positives and negatives" (General Comments)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Ran this race once, in '95. Well organized, with nice amenities. Course is indeed scenic and flat, but I found the twists and turns resulting from cramming 26.2 miles onto a small island pretty annoying. Not much crowd support, but that's not an issue with me. Helpful course workers. Plenty of handy lodging options (I ran by our front door twice), though, being a resort island, a tad pricey. | |

"Flat Course, Great Amenities, Great City Nearby" (General Comments)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 (Run in 97). Agree with previous posters about course. Features I liked were types/quality of pre-/post-race foods (tough to lay off; non-runners loved dessert choices), entry fee value, lodging options within a short walk to start/finish, and separate starts for the different race events. Did feel meal prices were slightly high. Pretty easy for spectators to meet us along course (or bike alongside, if courteous). Smile/wave if any cameras point at you, as you might be on screen at the post-race race-highlights video. | |

"very pretty course, well organised" (about: 1999)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 wonderful weather in an idyllic setting...considering that it was run on a planned development, I was surprised at how pretty the course was...lot's of turns which I liked....long straightaways did not occur...flat and fast, a definite repeater...stay in Charleston if you can...one of America's unique cities | |

"A PR course!" (about: 1997)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 You could not ask for a flatter course in a more beautiful setting than the Kiawah Island Marathon. The only drawback is that the course wound its way through mostly neighborhoods and out-and-backs, so it did get boring. But so what?? The ocean air and the fine folks who put this race on guarantee a terrific time. I would do this one again. |
