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: Grandma’s Half Marathon 2018 Duluth, MN
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads along Lake Superior and in Duluth, MN
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): Excellent. Well organized. Very large race (largest in MN)
Support (fans, music on course): Good support on the course especially once in the city
Course Scenery: Nice scenery of Lake Superior
Course Difficulty: Moderate. Some rolling hills in the city
Weather / Temperature: Varies a lot from cool to very warm. Usually quite humid, can be windy
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Some good tourist attractions, Lake Superior, nice areas to see (parks, lake, etc)
Logistics (Getting to the race site): Not too challenging – Duluth airport or 2 hour drive from Minneapolis
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): Very nice medal and shirt
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Food and drink on course is fine, and refreshments provided afterward were good

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
