Maybe it's because it is at home but I loved this Marathon! Nice tracking app and organization overall, awesome cheers thru the race! It's my second time doing it and overall I have more + than - to say. It is a bit hilly and mostly long hills the second from 26K to 32K is prob the worst portion imo otherwise if you do prepare a bit for the hills they are not hard to get thru the Xact bar are the providers on site thru the race you will acces to their bars and electrolytes. Plenty of water stations. 19000 at the starting lines this year :) great weather! Not the most scenic but I think the vibes of the city during the race make up to it- be prepared to wait to the end and have a decent busy walk back to the subway stations. I do recommend you use subway to arrived at live. Hope this helps! I PR with 4:53 average pace thru the race even splits every km end up more with a 42.7Km with my GPS.
