Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
Love the small marathons. Lots of water stops and road support. I did not like that it was so hot that day 80+ degrees and the race did not start until 8:30am.
The course was not flat. There are rolling hills.
I did not stay at the host hotel. I stayed at Days Inn and told them that I will be leaving for the race early and they had breakfast all set up for some of us runners.
