I had a great time running the Cotton Land Marathon. I signed up last minute (and largely on impulse), and I am so glad I did!
There were so many highlights of this race:
- Fully supported course (AND the officers were super friendly and supportive)
- AWESOME volunteers at the aid stations
- Several aid stations with food on the course, and at least one with gels
- Pretty good shirt
Neutral but notable:
- For marathoners, the course is essentially a double loop of the half - a few small changes in the second loop
- The race is largely out-and-back, so you see some of the same stuff twice (four times for full marathoners) - This was practically a pro for me because I had a favorite aid station and liked seeing those volunteers multiple times :)
Con:
- By the time I came in (full marathon in 5:50) the food vendors were packing up, so there was no food for me other than the (delicious) corn that was still being handed out
