Decent race, big post party

The race started near the pavilion. Parking was easy, but there were not enough restroom facilities to accommodate all the runners. The early portion on the boardwalk is fun and there are a lot of spectators. The course is flat and fast, the rain this year made the last portion on the trail muddy but can't help the weather. I almost missed a turn later in the race, I did to see any volunteers or signs. After running the full, not much food was leftover. The tent party was awesome with a DJ and plenty of beverages which is a big draw for many. The race, hotel and dining sells out so sign up and book your choices early.

Good Race Generally Well Organized

The course is generally flat, so if you are looking for something fast this will fit the bill. Large sections are out and backs on park bike trails. That will help or hurt depending on your preferences. Pre race communication is, ahem, extensive. There were more emails from the race director for this marathon than any other race (marathon or otherwise) that I have ever run. The only glitch was at the start. The race has an 'informal drop off' for clothes you want for the finish line. At the start, there are no signs for where to find it nor does anyone associated with the race seem to know where they are. After asking quite a few people and getting increasingly frustrated and closer to the starting time we finally got an answer. They are along the road near the pavilion towards the beach. You might want to note that if you plan to run this race.

Enjoyed it.

I did not expect so many people at a small beach town in December! Starting line has a giant lit up Christmas tree. Friendly people all around. Some are dressed as elfs. Parts of the course is an out and back so I got to cheer on some of the fastest runners. Great scenery. Cold, windy, and wet, you know, 'Duck weather', but most of that was late in the race. Legs got muddy. Loved it. Only regret was that I had no appetite for all that food and drink at the finish line.

One week until the Seashore Marathon

A record number of participants from more than 40 states will toe the line for the eighth annual Rehoboth Beach Running Companys Seashore Marathon & Half-Marathon, scheduled for 7 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 5. As of Nov. 20, the race closed at a record 2,991 participants, broken down as 1,866 in the half and 1,125 in the full marathon. An interesting stat, and it definitely shows the trend of how far female distance running has come, is that there are 1,223 male runners in the race and 1,765 female runners. Forty-six states, including Alaska, will be represented.
