djsmith814's review of 2018 Lakefront Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

This was my first marathon and it was great. I know I have no frame of reference, however, I have run many other races, so I can say this was well organized, great course, and I would absolutely run it again.


Race Tips

Mostly flat with a few inclines. Lots of downhill to start and around mile 24 onward is mostly downhill.
