Well organized small race

Full Review:

Well organized for a small race, course support great. Chip time the finish but not the start, not really sure why...

Race Tips:

Watch out for bridge hills and headwinds. Gorgeous course overall!

Travel/Logistics Tips:

Lots of close hotel & food options.

Tolerable, but in decline...

Full Review:

Course is chiefly flat, although there are a few bridge crossings; save your strength. Wind from the river between about Mile 17 and 22.5 is devastating. Well-supported.

Mile markers inconsistent. The marathon's host hotel is the Shilo Inn, which is not a good selling point (it is a dump and customer service is atrocious). The course begins and ends there.

Travel/Logistics Tips:

Do not stay at Shilo Inn; there are other options within a very reasonable distance.

Full Review:

Great venue, flat, fast scenic course along dedicated path around the Columbia River. Very well managed marathon, much better than other smaller marathons I've run.

Race Tips:

Can be cold at start, rarely wet, but can be breezy so work with the wind when you can.

Smooth flat course. Bridges serve as landmarks for next goal.

Race Tips:

I just took a relaxed pace and achieved PB. No breakdowns.
