Lonely but awesome

Full Review:

Great course through the city. Does get lonely during the second half since there's not too many marathon runners, but still a great course.

Race Tips:

Pack gel packets or other pick me ups to get you through the isolated second half

It's getting better!

Full Review:

Pros: This marathon is well organized, and the course of the second half is flat and fast.

Cons: There are many half marathon runners, but not many run the full. You can be lonely out there in your second half and get lost if you are not familiar with the course.

Race Tips:

Save your energy while climbing the hills during the first half.

Travel/Logistics Tips:

The start and finish lines are within walking distance, with plenty of parking spaces around.

No pacers
