Meg Kobza's thoughts:

This was my third, and to date, favorite marathon. I loved the race. Aid stations had mini bottled waters, oranges, and bananas. Powerade was at the halfway point, but water only at every other stop.
Warning! In the start corrals there is only ONE porta potty per corral group! Ladies! This means if you need to use it, jump in line asap. There are urinals for the men, but some men need to use the porta potty, too...I'm sure as runners you can imagine why.
It was easy to get to and from the race start on public trains, as well as to meet up with family at the finish.
The race is not as flat as advertised; there are a few ups and downs throughout. Sneaky slow up and down for the first half, three from 17ish-19ish, and then cobblestone periodically around 23.
Would definitely run again, had an amazing experience. Don't waste your time at the expo and make sure to keep an eye out for wine on the course :)
