WAY too many runners for my taste! It took nearly 45 minutes just to get to the start line and there is a time cut off to make it to the bridge, which may be tough for many back-of-the-pack runners. Also, I didn't enjoy being elbowed in the boob and head constantly because we were so packed until about mile 15. Did a lot of bobbing and weaving because of the size of the crowd and ran 27 something. Last complaint is the hideous race shirt! It is a horrible colored brown turtle neck with yellow and white lettering.
On the positive, the marines were very encouraging and I enjoyed seeing them out on the course high-fiving runners. Also, loved the dunkin donuts at like mile 22 :)
