This was my first year participating in this marathon. I had heard a lot of positive reviews, and I was not disappointed! The course was hilly, but not so difficult that one could not handle with having done some hill training. Crowd support was awesome. There were only a few areas that were quiet.

The expo was large and well organized, and there was plenty of race swag. I participated in the 5k and 10k events the day before, so I ended up with shirts for all events, medals for each event, a cooler bag, and a bonus medal, shirt, and medal display for participating in all races.

I highly recommend this race for anyone looking for a fun and challenging course. I plan to run this again!
