Sam Smullen's review of 2017 Long Island Marathon.   

1 / 5 Stars

Review

I didn't like the fact that they didn't have Gatorade at every water station. First Gatorade was at the Mile 4 then again at Mile 9. They did have Gatorade at every water station after Half and Full split after Mile 10.

Race Tips

Need to be mentally ready. You are alone for awhile on the course and if you need heavy crowds this isn't the race for you.
