 "Highly Recommended" (about: 1999)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Another of New England's terrific fall marathons, this is faster than most. Well-run on a scenic course (which, I recall, had more Dunkin Donuts shops than any other marathon I've run!). Not too small and not too large: just right size. This may be your Boston qualifier! | |

"for my first marathon it was a great experience." (about: 2000)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I would recommend this marathon to anyone beginner or veteran. A very organized race and I had no trouble getting sports drinks or water during the run. Race helpers were very supportive and I couldn't have made it without them!!!! Thank you to all who helped make my dream run come true. | |

 "good course, good atmosphere" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 For a marathon with 1500 entrants, the organization was really good, aid stations had plenty of water and sports drink. For the most part, the course is fast except for miles 20 to 23. I would definitely run this one again. Nice finish in downtown Providence. | |

"Good Course, Good Support, Few Spectators" (about: 1999)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 This was my first Marathon and I really enjoyed it. The course is basically flat up to mile 18 and then quite a few hills and one major one at mile 22. From about mile 24 it is basically a slight downhill. I would not recommend using this one for Boston however. The crowd support was light for most of the run, but there were large crowds at the start and finish of the race. The Volunteer support on the course was excellent. The only negative comment on the race is that they ran out of sports drink at many of the stations too early. If you finished in greater than 4 hours and didn't have Gu or some sort of Carbohydrate with you. You would've been in trouble. | |

 "Best " (General Comments)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Having run this race the past two years, I can recommend it to anyone. The organisation is first class, and the switch to the race finishing in Providence has turned a low key event into one with a much higher profile. I can't come back in 2000(Chicago beckons), but I will return to Rhode Island in 2002 for a 3rd crack at the course. |
