Overall not a bad race. It is a BQ, so there are a lot of people that come to run it. It is a loop course, so for the full marathon you run it twice. Some people may not like that. There are some good hills on the course, but overall scenery isn't bad. There is no expo, and you just get a shirt in your bag. If you're running the race for that part, you'll be disappointed. After the race there is a nice pancake feed put on in a local church right by the finish line. I wouldn't say race management was bad, but they could definitely amp up the expo pre/post.
