This was a great race! It was my first marathon and I was very impressed with the organization of the race. The route was great, enough hills to challenge you, with some flat or downhill to make the hills more manageable. I enjoyed the peace and tranquility along with the beautiful scenery. I will run it again and I certainly recommend it!
Well organized, inexpensive, and beautiful course with enough hills to make you feel it but enough downhill flat to make it possible. Certainly worth the drive & the Italian restaurant on 4th street (where you finish) is the place to go for your prerace pasta. If you need lots of entertainment along a course, this is NOT for you. If you enjoy the variety of scenery that nature has to offer and find solice in the sound of your stride, be sure to join next year.
