Guy Collins's thoughts:

I have created a running website named www.askrunguy.com based on having run over 100 half marathons, including all fifty US states and several other countries; and several full marathons, with a goal of running all six World Major marathons. Below is a template for comments for my rating each race:

Race: Amica Newport half marathon 2012 Newport, RI
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads throughout Newport and along Atlantic Ocean
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): Expo was small but was inside out of cold
Support (fans, music on course): A few people on course. Hard to navigate for fans, supporters
Course Scenery: nice scenery especially running by Newport mansions and along the Atlantic Ocean
Course Difficulty: Not too difficult. Some rolling hills, some wind and rain along the oceanside
Weather / Temperature: Was quite cool, damp, foggy on race day
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Many pretty things to see around the Newport / ocean area
Logistics (Getting to the race site): Newport is drivable from local larger airports
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): Nice t-shirt and medal
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Sufficient water stops and food after race

I provide running and racing resources for all levels of runners at www.askrunguy.com. I also share information that I believe is interesting and helpful to the running community. I encourage you to visit www.askrunguy.com
