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: Country Music half marathon 2012 Nashville, TN
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads throughout Nashville
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): Expo was huge! Rock n Roll expo
Support (fans, music on course): Pretty good fan support. Lots of bands and music
Course Scenery: Pretty nice scenery – Running around downtown Nashville
Course Difficulty: more difficult than I expected. Quite a few rolling hills. Course measured quite long – like 13.5 miles
Weather / Temperature: Race turned very warm by the end
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Lots of things to do in and around Nashville. Great museums, music, shopping, restaurants and bars. Wonderful city .
Logistics (Getting to the race site): easy access via Nashville airport
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): very nice medal, and t-shirt.
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Sufficient. Nice water stops.
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
