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: Mississippi Blues Half Marathon Jackson, MS 2010
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads around Jackson
Organization (Size, Expo, volunteers, start / finish): . Excellent expo and volunteers
Support (fans, music on course): Excellent support. Lots of great blues music
Course Scenery: nice historic town to run through
Course Difficulty: pretty hilly, not too challenging.
Weather / Temperature: colder than expected, especially at finish
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Some fun things to do especially regarding listening to blues music and touring historical buildings
Logistics (Getting to the race site): recommend driving from a fairly close airport
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): Great swag: fun medal, harmonica, and local blues music CD
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Sufficient food and drink during and after race. Nice tent after race to stay warm
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
