Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
Pros:
Starting line was easy to get to with plenty of parking. Starting the race with a blessing from a local tribe was really moving.
Aid stations all staffed by super energetic kids Miles and course well marked Ideal temp Perfect timing if you are moving in a WWU student!
Cons:
No food offered on the course except a gu packet late in the race Timing chip not accurate Getting to the finish line requires not one but TWO hills, you actually finish on an uphill
I loved this marathon for the small race feel, the weather and the great course!
Don't go out too fast...you can pick up a lot of time in the latter part of the race if you pace right.
