Only about 200 ran the full marathon and a bit more than that ran the half marathon. It was  well organized and on a nice, flat course.

And where else can you run along and watch an F-15 do touch-'n'-go's??? That part was great and perfect timing for us.

After having run the NYC Marathon this past November, running the stillness and beauty of this course was a welcome contrast. The course was stunning (especially the horses). The jets flying over us gave me goosebumps. The organizers and volunteers were some of the nicest folks I have ever come across at a race. The warmth of the museum before and after the race was a huge plus. Thank you ever so much for putting this race on. Everything from the shirts, to the food, to the medals was perfect. We will be back.

Great marathon. The Air Force overseas was a nice touch. The volunteers on the course were great, since no spectators are allowed on the base. Great job of snacks and support at the aid stations. The museum visit is worth the trip. Several flyovers of a variety of planes made for an enjoyable view. The hosts were great.

Course was very flat with just one or two small exceptions. It was a beautiful and varied course: along the airfield, a wooded area, a lake, a residential area - all within the base. Very enjoyable.

If you were going for a PR, it could be tough being so isolated. Although the spectators were enthusiastic and wonderful, there weren't many.

Aid stations were generally well organized and very plentiful. However at mile 6 there was an incident where I had to wait for a cup of water to be filled for me. Wasn't a big deal for me, but I wasn't running this one for time.

Great time of year for a nice cool but not too cool run.

The race is run on an Air Force base and crowd support is limited. Overall, it is an outstanding event - well organized and stress-free. The course is boring at times on the base, but it runs through a lovely wetlands area and is mostly flat. I would highly recommend this race.

Other than a small traffic jam getting into the AFB, this was a pleasant, low-key event. No lines at packet pickup, no crowd at the start, evenly-spaced and well-manned water stops, and a very flat course. One of my worries going in was that we'd have to hear loud planes taking off and landing. But they were all grounded (it was MLK Weekend), so it was actually the quietest race I'd ever experienced. Which was just fine for me!

This is a top-notch marathon. The course is two loops, making you mentally prepared for the second lap. There were bicycle riders that were a big help on the base. The museum made a great place for family members (children) to wait. The staff were excellent, and very patient.

Running on an Air Force base was different. Some of it was very boring (military buildings), but some of it was quite interesting and surprising (golf course, woods, ponds). Few spectators, but they were very enthusiastic. Two loops allow you to know where the hills are and where aid stations are. The museum was great, particularly for getting out of the rain and getting warm afterwards. They definitely need traffic control at the entrance to the museum as the traffic made for a very hectic start for my group. We drove 2 hours from Atlanta and got near the museum at 7 a.m. as planned, but sitting in traffic for about 20 minutes almost made us late to the start (after getting a number, etc.). Starting late helped us as we were still walking to the start at 8 a.m. But, overall a good race.

This was marathon #40 for me and my first in Georgia. The town of Warner Robins and the adjacent Robins AFB are about 90 miles southeast of Atlanta. There are plenty of reasonably priced motels, and if you are in government, you can stay on-base very inexpensively. Logistically, this race is a snap. A little bit of traffic getting on base to the museum, but aside from that, you can park a couple hundred feet from the museum and the start line. There was some traffic this year and the race director delayed the race 15 minutes so everyone could get their bibs. There were a few less than 200 marathoners, about 400 for the half, and also about 400 for the 5K.

Sometimes a two-loop course can be boring, but this one was not because it goes through some visually interesting parts of Robins Air Force Base and you see more stuff the second time. This is a PR course. It is flat except for a small hill at about miles 10/20. The Finish line is at the front of the museum, which is nice for pictures, but it is uphill at the very end of the race! I would have liked that part to end on the flat side of the museum property, maybe in front of the WWII hanger. You are running on streets open to traffic but there were few cars and they all stayed well away from the runners.

The turnaround for the second loop for the full marathoners is one the final stretch of the course for the half marathoners. It is difficult mentally to keep going when the pack of half marathoners is finishing, so I think it would be an improvement if the turnaround was eliminated and the second loop started along the straight-away of the street someplace. I think a couple of hundred feet could be added to the full marathon finish very easily to make up for omitting that turnaround.

Packet pickup went very smoothly and it was inside of the museum where it was warm and comfortable. If I had to change anything about that, it would be to be able to pick up the packet the day before the race. I am fussy about being ready on race day and worrying about packet pickup and pinning on the bib just before the race is something I would want to avoid in the future.

I gave high marks for spectators because those who were there were very enthusiastic. It is however on a military base and there just are not going to be cheering hoards of fans. However, those who did get on-base were great, so I gave this 5 stars.

Plenty of food at the finish and a nice finisher's medal. The weather was not within anyone's control, but it was perfect for running - 45 degrees at the start, going up to the low 50s. The start was overcast with light rain starting about 3 hours into the race. That is my kind of running weather, so I liked it.

What a great race this was. In 17 marathons, I've never seen a better support group than the volunteers from the air force base at this marathon. They stood in the rain with us; most had no umbrellas. They were enthusiastic. They staffed ALL of the aid stations until the last runner finished. Thanks for a great job Warner Robins, GA!!!
Mostly flat course - only three relatively small hills. Very well organized.
