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: Delaware Half Marathon 2012 (Wilmington, DE)
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads around Wilmington, Delaware
Organization (Size, Expo, volunteers, start / finish): . OK; small tent expo
Support (fans, music on course): pretty good support. Pretty good fan support along the course
Course Scenery: Pretty plain and basic
Course Difficulty: Mostly flat, two laps around same 6-7 mile loop
Weather / Temperature: decent weather and temperature
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Not great. Wilmington is not a very nice, clean, safe city
Logistics (Getting to the race site): Close from New Jersey / Philly airports
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): very basic medal and shirt
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Sufficient food and drink during and 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
