Likes, not a lot of traffic. hills were not hard or too steep. the last 6 were flat and fast dislikes, no goos handed out late or any other item except gatorade/water. age group awards were coffee mugs that you can buy at any spinx store. if you are fortunate enough to place in a marathon it needs to be something nice that shows your accomplishment.
Race Tips
Perfect marathon to run a negative split. stay slow the first 10 at least then change gears. it worked for me
Pros: weathertends to be advantageous. Last year was super hot: this year was cool and slightly rainy.
Cons: everything else. 1000 turns with only 10 people giving directions. I got off course and ran an extra .5 miles, derailing my PR chance. Had to stop for traffic on three occasions. 6 water stations for the whole 26 miles? Post race food is pre packaged gas station food with bananas.
I won't run this one again.
Race Tips
Hilly with lots and lots and lots of turns. God practice would be to do a bunch laps around your living room couch.
