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: Polar Dash Half Marathon 2012 Minneapolis, MN
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads and neighborhoods in Minneapolis, MN
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): Excellent. Well organized.
Support (fans, music on course): fairly good, but limited, support on the course.
Course Scenery: Pretty plain
Course Difficulty: Moderate. Some challenging rolling hills.
Weather / Temperature: Usually pretty cool to cold winter in Minnesota
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Some fun things to do and see around Minneapolis and St Paul
Logistics (Getting to the race site): Close to Minneapolis airport
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): nice medal and finisher shirt
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Food and drink on course is fine, and refreshments provided afterward were limited
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
