Overall:
If you're training for a marathon, this is a great race to sign up for if you're doing the 18.12 mile distance.

T-Shirts/Swag:
The registration included a long-sleeved T-shirt. The smallest they had was a Ladies Small, which was still too big for me. So I wish there were some XSs available.

Aid Stations:
Adequate number of aid stations on the course with water, Gatorade, Popsicles, and one in which they were handing out sliced oranges!

Course Scenery:
The scenery is mostly through farmland, so you see some lush green fields, some with cows and horses. The beginning and end of the course is in front of Lake Ontario.

Expo Quality:
There is no expo, but during packet pickup and during the race and afterward there was a vendor tent with typical running items - shoes, gels, waist packs, etc.

Elevation:
This wasn't a challenging race in terms of elevation. Much of it is flat, intermixed with small inclines and declines.

Parking:
Adequate, assuming you got there early enough. The volunteers did a great job of directing parking so there wasn't overflow anywhere.

Race Management:
I appreciated the email a few days prior to packet pickup outlining where it was, what was needed (your ID and a signed waiver we could access from the website). The packet pickup was easy enough. The organization did a good job of preparing items - start/finish line, port-a-potties, etc. As it got closer to race time, I was a bit concerned there weren't any announcements. There was an announcer, but I wish she had made it clear where to line up. All of us had to re-line on the other side of the start/finish line, which was confusing for a bit. There were 23 states represented, and I wish I knew what other states people had come from. While the announcer was OK, I wish she was a bit more polished. Nevertheless, after I got done, I got my results quite quickly and there was food available. I wish they had more food out though. There were boxes of food available, but they weren't opened yet until I asked a volunteer if there were chips left. In any case, the weather was perfect and the volunteers along the route were encouraging and cheerful.

Given the distance, I would definitely consider doing this race again.
