Anonymous's review of 2016 New Years (Day) Double Marathon.   

3 / 5 Stars

Review

It was flat and well organized. It offered a non Sunday option. It was very casual, but well staffed. Parking was a breeze. Very good race for spectators to cheer on the runners. Fun local support. Race logistics were super easy!

I didn't love the loops. The course was a bit confusing.


Race Tips

Study the course map. Bring post race fuel/food.
