Garden Spot Village Marathon

It is really unfortunate that this was the last year for the marathon, but I am glad I got to run it in its last year. This was an excellent experience put on by a small community. The Amish people were wonderful and actively participated and cheered on the runners. There were massages, showers, great food, everything you would want post-race. On the course the support was excellent. The hills were exactly what was advertised so having trained for it, I did not have issues with them. It was out-of-control hot in the 2018 race and a lot of people were burning out near the end due to that but it was still a great experience.

I loved this race It tests all parts of training Next year I will be back

I'm not sure what I was expecting but this course was a lot more difficult than I expected. Rolling hills with not much flat spots. I wish I had prepared better but it was a beautiful course.The organization was top notch; they know how to provide for runners (received a T-shirt and a Tech shirt, nice!). Volunteers were very nice and helpful. Not a lot of spectators but I think I was actually cheered on by a cow.Overall great experience and I would highly recommend it!
