I love this town! I had been to Rehoboth many times in the past, but always during beach season. During race season is a little weird, because without many tourists a lot of businesses close for the winter. Several businesses, restaurants and even hotels open up for the week of the race. Hotel prices were really really great! We stayed right on the boardwalk for cheap! Nothing like during the summer when it's difficult to find a room and when you do it's way over-priced! The beach and boardwalk are clean and there are tons of great restaurants! Dogfish Head provides the beer for the after party and there is a ton of food! The race is pretty flat. It goes through three different state parks, some of which are not very spectator friendly, but we didn't mind at all. The race starts at the bandstand right off the boardwalk and ends up the street by the Cultured Pearl and Rehoboth Beach Running Co. Made a pretty good friend at the running store, if you run this race, you are likely to meet Gary and his dog Dede at the expo. So far, my wife and I have ran 7 full marathons and 16 half's in 9 different states. Rehoboth is by far my favorite! Truly great experience!
