This marathon was top notch on every level. The price you pay for what you receive is outstanding value. The course is great, taking you all over the islands and city sights. The spectators were very enthusiastic and encouraging. The organization was outstanding, from water/food stations, police stopping traffic, and even a local motorcycle crew helping block traffic it was just super good! The start time at 4am was just right to avoid the hot sun. The medals were cool, even giving out a separate medal for top 50 marathon finishers.The post race breakfast was delicious. The race shirt too was good, no funny fitting. Thanks to the Soles of Cochin, and I'd say run this race and help it grow!
