Ross Brennan from Washington, DC (3/11/2023)
"Friendly and well-organized small-town race" (about: 2023)

50+ previous marathons | 1 Marathon of the Treasure Coast
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


We had a well-organized start and a lovely sunrise over the water. The marathon course runs through residential neighborhoods and along commercial boulevards, with occasional water views from the bridges. Mile markers at every mile. Aid stations were frequent; staffed by enthusiastic volunteers; and well-supplied with water, Gatorade, and gels. This was particularly welcome since the heat and sun had us running a bit ragged - especially during the brutal out-and-back along Ocean Boulevard in the second half! Great food and a nice post-race party in Memorial Park.

"Poor planning and execution" (about: 2020)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Marathon of the Treasure Coast
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 1  FANS: 2


Disaster at the start. Poorly lit route in the dark and lack of guides resulted in a 27.4 mile race for me (distances my vary based on when the runner turned around to get back on course). They ran out of medals if you took too long to finish. People after me were rightfully angry when they did not receive a medal, which was insult to injury after the mess at the start. We were allowed one water bottle, no electrolyte drinks available at the finish. Minimal packaged foods, no fruit. The runners had a similar problem with the course markings 2 years ago so the directors clearly did not learn from their mistakes. This was marathon #44 for me and the worst organized out of all of them. DO NOT DO THIS RACE!!!

"Debacle. Do not do this race." (about: 2020)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Marathon of the Treasure Coast
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 1  FANS: 1


Ran this race in 2020. Although the race began before dawn the race director had no lead cyclists or volunteers at the first turn. As a result hundreds of runners went the wrong way. This would be inexcusable even if it had not happened two years prior. Chaos ensued. Some carried on, cutting the course, some went back to find the right turn, adding distance, and some went back to the beginning for a do-over. People in tears, Boston Qualifiers in jeopardy. Absolute joke. Other than that the course had zero spectators and was extremely windy.

"Most Gorgeous Course EVER!!" (about: 2019)

11-50 previous marathons | 4-5 Marathon of the Treasure Coasts
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I've run this marathon 3 times and done the half once. It never disappoints. The course is gorgeous, the aid stations are super fun and the volunteers are exceptional. The shirt is one of the best I ever received from a race and I wear it a lot. The medals are really clever in their design and are also a bottle opener!

Pre-race, there was Starbucks coffee before the race (hot and iced), which was delicious and available after too!! There are port-o-lettes in addition to the free standing bathroom.

Post race, there is plenty of good food, beer and great music and it's in a beautiful grassy park where you can just hang out with your friends. You may even get to ring the PR bell!! Parking is right there, so logistically, this is a no stress race. There are plenty of places to eat nearby after you get your bib at the Expo. Stuart is a cute little town and they take pride in showing it off. Plus, who would not want to be in Florida in March?!!?!!? The weather is AMAZING!!! This will be a regular on my marathon schedule. Fun, Sun, Run. The Trifecta of Perfection!!

"OK race, rude officials" (about: 2018)

The race was ok but the officials were rude and course was average wouldn't do this one again. NY or Chicago better choices.
 

A. W. from Port Saint Lucie, Florida (8/6/2019)
"Love my local marathon!" (about: 2019)

4-5 previous marathons | 2 Marathon of the Treasure Coasts
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


This is the marathon closest to me and I've run it twice. Compared to other races I've run this is the easiest one to get to. Parking is very easy, no shuttle bus. The course is mostly flat except for 2 bridges with a great view of the Saint Lucie River. Most important of all...the medals and shirts are always awesome!!!

"Beautiful course, organized, need more spectators." (about: 2019)

2 previous marathons | 2 Marathon of the Treasure Coasts
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


Love this course. My 3rd year returning doing Marathon Relay for charity. Well organized / best timing, MCM Timing, quick/accurate, experienced. Nice Expo/music weekend. Great shirt/medal. Waterstops had a variety of snacks/nutrition. It was hot/humid this year early , so if heats not your thing, I recommend doing 1st/2nd leg if on relay team.

I enjoyed the Expo. I was able to obtain exclusive marathon items as well as Garmin and Sparkle skirt items.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience doing a relay. Running along the scenic Stuart beach route was awesome!
