Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
The flattest course, with lots of beautiful scenery. Plenty of water, gatorade and gel stops. There are volunteers at every turn to direct you where to go. Tons of cheering spectators to keep you going when everything hurts. Great after party, plenty of freebies. I would recommend this to newbie runners and veterans alike!
Very flat course, no major surprises. This is the race to PR.
Park at the casino. Only $10 (versus $20 at other lots that are farther away) and it's right by the starting line. Always plenty of spots!
The good...its a fast course with plenty of rest stops..nice after race party.
The bad...congested start will keep your first mile to nine mins unless you start up front.
Long porta potty lines get in line early...first ten plenty of people to pace with then it thins out when half splits off
Arrive by 6:30....no bag check so leave it in the car
