Mill Race Marathon

I have run many races and I have to say the Mill Race is a new favorite. Parking garage very close to the start/finish, reasonable registration fee, flat course, plenty of aid stations and porta-johns, great bands and entertainment. The marathon is two loops but the second loop is a little different than the first to provide shade with some sections where you see other runners. The spectators had fun signs and were encouraging. This was a well-organized community event. After crossing the finish, you could grab a printout of your results, purchase food and drinks, and listen to another good band until the truck raffle. There was also a kids fun zone with bouncy castles and balloon animals (and an indoor playground as well).
