Overall- 4/5
Expo- 4/5
Not too big, not too small
Nice Louisiana Marathon merchandise
A variety of vendors, but could have used more apparel selections
T-shirts/Swag- 4/5
Shirts were gray with distance running on the back & nice design
Men's shirt a little short, women's shirt was specific sizing and fit me perfectly
Gear bag was really nice design and custom with zipper on the side
Beautiful finisher's medal
Elevation Difficulty- 2/5
Some say it's flat, but it depends where you are from
No gigantic hills, but enough to make you work a little harder if you train on very flat land
One medium overpass that you cross twice due to down/back
Water/Aid Stations- 4/5
Plenty of water stations and volunteers handing out extras
No shortage of porta potties, but lacking tissue in 3 I used
Course- 4/5
Beautiful scenery of lakes, trees, & LSU on the course
Some sections had a lot of potholes
Crowds- 4/5
First half of course was covered in spectators cheering and entertaining us
Second half had a lot of spectators but thinned out as we increased miles
By mile 23 no one was left but the runners
Organization/Communication- 5/5
Very organized
Gear check was easy
