This is definitely a bucket list race, I can only add to the glowing reviews for this event. The only negative at all is the amount of time it took to get through security but this is necessary and understandable given the location and number of people involved. The course is magnificent, it would have been nice to have been able to run right by the monuments but I guess they can't close those areas off for the length of time necessary to run the race. I have seen complaints about the hill at the very end of the race, but with Marines lining that hill and cheering me on I hardly noticed it. This event is well worth the trip, I highly encourage everyone who loves to run to make this one.
