Jasmine Leonas's thoughts:

Top to bottom, an amazing, life-changing experience. It was my first marathon, and I chose a great one to begin my new addiction.
There's not much I can say that hasn't already been covered in other reviews. If you're on the fence about this race, go for it. Everything about it is amazing. Incredibly well organized, fun route through the heart of the city, and some of the best spectators of any race. I brought headphones in case I needed a morale boost on the back half and found I didn't really need them. There are so many people cheering and keeping you going.
Guaranteed applications opened early for 2017, which is also the race's 40th anniversary. Go sign up. You won't regret it.
