This was this marathon's first year, and it was a great race! It's totally flat and winds around the campus and through residential areas. There were a lot of people from the town cheering, and the aid stations were adequate. The shirt the first year was awesome! It was a dry-fit, long-sleeved, half-zip. The only downside to this race is that it's in the early spring, so you have to train in the winter. It's a great race, though!
