I've run this four years in a row. The Race Team are experienced and know how to put on a race. Start time is early, which is good as this is SE FL, so it gets warm once the sun is up. You watch the sun rise over the ocean, end up on a bike path for a while before ending on the streets, which are marked well and patrolled. The worst traffic issue is when you're finishing; if you're sub 4 hours, you'll be encountering slower half marathoners, which is only an issue when they walk 4 abreast. When you're at mile 23 and 24, every extra step going 'round folks is given grudgingly by most of us! Just be aware--most folks are very kind and scoot out of the way.
Huge medals if you're into that, and I know lots are: you'll be very happy with this race. Unique, usually with movable parts. Fantastic spread of food and fun at the finish, which is right at the beach. You can cross the finish and be in the ocean a few minutes later, depending on how much speed you have left!
The expo is tricky, as it's in a building right at the port where cruises dock and leave from, so the traffic/parking scene there is involved. You also have to pay for parking. It's hourly, so not bad, just FYI.
This is a good first marathon and a fantastic vacation marathon. February in Florida! Come on down!
