Runner-Friendly

If you were looking for big crowds at a marathon, go to New York City. If you're looking for a hometown type of marathon, where the people care about you and really cheer you on, this is your venue! You can park less than 100 yards from the start/finish line, the aid stations are well-maintained and well stocked, and the course as well-marked. Don't be surprised if you scare up a squirrel, raccoon, or even a deer along the way. Callaway Gardens is definitely in the woods and the great part of the run go through the forest. I've run 60 marathons, and I plan to make this one number 61!

Beautiful Low Key Race

Refreshing to find this race still around. I last ran it in 1979 and except for the route change that added a really nice hill the feel is still the same. Aid stations well staffed and equipped. Friendly volunteers. Low entry fee!

Beautiful course, just a bit lonely

Really nice venue for a marathon. Beautiful wooded course, perfectly maintained asphalt road, no traffic. You can park steps from the start/finish so you can keep warm til the start and no bag check needed. You can also keep warm at the indoor pavilion at the start also. Great food at the end (pizza, muffins etc.) I liked the 8 am start time. Plenty of places to stay overnight within minutes of the race. Plenty of well stocked aid stations. I would call the course definitely hilly but not abusive at all and it afforded some of the views you had. Course had a lot of twists and turns that kept your interest but exceptionally well marked, maybe the best I have seen. It would have been nice if the race was at a time of year when things were in bloom as I am sure it is lovely. The only thing lacking was spectators which I can understand being it is off season for the area and located inside a park, but it did get a little lonely for the marathoners. Plenty of nice restaurants in the nearby town. I would do this one again.
