"Egregiously bad organization" (about: 2023)

4-5 previous marathons
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 3

The race itself is okay -- a couple decent hills but mostly flat and a nice downhill overall. There is a brutal climb right at the end so be aware of that. Not the best course for a BQ imo.

The really disqualifying aspect for me was the terrible organization with the bag drop. I arrived at 6:55AM (bag drop closed at 7:30) and was met with 20+ lines not moving towards 20+ buses. They told us to pick a line and it didn't matter, but once 1-3 of the lines were moving to fill up the busses with bags. I had to sit in a line until 7:40 (race starts at 7:45) and folks started panicking with the race announcers calling everyone to the start line (approximately 800m away). It got to the point where everyone was just frantically throwing their bags towards the busses and grabbing wristbands hoping their bag would make it to the finish line. I got my wristband at 7:43, two minutes before the start of the marathon. I then had to run to the start line, skipping a planned bathroom break to start on time.

I would NEVER run this race again for this reason. It wasn't just me either. Literally hundreds (thousands) of people were in the same boat. Imagine it was a PR or BQ attempt? No thank. Figure that out organizers. Fatal flaw.

"Beautiful but tough ending" (about: 2023)

2 previous marathons | 1 Marathon Beneva de Montreal
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5

Great race starting from the Jean Drapeau Park, running on the F1 racing track, then across the water, into the old city, then through the neighbourhoods all the way to the olympic stadium. ONLY PROBLEM is the last 2 KM has odd uphill ramps to the finish line. It gassed so many people.
