This race was a great first marathon to do. The course is not overly challenging, and there was great support. The part of LSD I ran was not very exciting, but there's rock bands, high school marching bands, and cheerleaders, all along the course. I loved the long sleeve shirt ( see attached picture). This race got me to love the entire race experience. I had trained through the summer, and this race definitely makes an experience and celebration out of it. The medal was awesome and the post race party was huge. This race, is located in Hyde Park and difficult to get to, if you don't have a car.

I would most definitely recommend doing this race for you're first half marathon.
