This was my first year running the Modesto Marathon. I chose to run this race since it was my on my birthday and within a 2 hour drive from my house. I was extremely impressed by how well organized the event was and how well put together the expo was. I'd highly recommend this race to someone looking to run a flat, fast marathon course.
