"Great PR marathon on scenic course" (about: 2012)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Stavanger Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 1 I thought this was a very scenic course for the most part. It was very flat and the weather was perfect if you are interested in a course to set a PR I thought. The organization was excellent, and the aid stations were just about perfect for the weather. This is a very small marathon and there are no spectators to speak of if that is important to you. What I found intriguing was that Marathon Oil was the main sponsor. For such a nice marathon, I would think the Marathon Oil people would promote this more as it is a very positive PR venue that I would think they would promote compared to all the bad press oil companies typically get. I walk marathons so started early but had no problems following the course with the arrows and ribbons. I think this is a diamond in the rough marathon that hopefully will pick up more participants as time goes on. Stavanger is beautiful, and Pulpit Rock is a great scenic point to visit among others. |
