Jim's review of 2021 Tidewater Strider Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

Convenient location, inside bathrooms at start, and parking right by the start. The course is legit the flattest course you can find. It's an old two lane road, so it's plenty wide and there are trees lining the whole course. If you're looking for a pr, this is your course!
