Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
The course was certified by USATF (or whatever the main org is), but it was not chip timed. It was very misleading advertising to say Boston-certified course when it's not chip timed. Also, they didn't have enough water on a hot/humid day. I placed near the top third of finishers, and the final water stop on the out and back course was already out of water. Some water stops were unstaffed. There were multipled ambulances with lights on that I saw on the course, and I wonder if lack of water had something to do with it.
Just avoid this one.
They said parking was going to be in one place, and then on race day, it was not there.
