Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
This local, well-managed marathon runs 95% on beautiful wide bike trails that go through open spaces, water ways, lakes, and wooded areas. The fall colors were gorgeous, which helped make for a great day.
Don't expect a lot of fan support, but those who came out were great; and the volunteers were super. Remember, too, that you're running at 5000 feet and you may need time to acclimate.
