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: Gopher to Badger half marathon 2007 Stillwater, MN to Hudson, WI
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved highway in rural Minnesota and Wisconsin
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): OK. Nothing memorable
Support (fans, music on course): Almost nobody on course, which is along fields and pastures on a long highway
Course Scenery: Not great. Just typical farm landscapes
Course Difficulty: I found it to be quite challenging due to long, hot stretches with zero shade, and some pretty strong winds.
Weather / Temperature: can be quite warm. Lots of sun. Little shade.
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Not much to do around this race, but Twin Cities is very close to this race.
Logistics (Getting to the race site): easily drivable from Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul).
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): Almost nothing. Possibly a t-shirt and a small generic medal
Food and drink (on course and after finish): IT seems there were few if any water stops along the course.

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
