This was a great first Marathon (and i'm sure 2nd/3rd, etc) Course was beautiful running along the water as the sun was coming up. Course was relatively flat, some slight rolling hills. The biggest hill was at the turn around point. The race is on a Saturday which makes traveling to TC on a Friday fairly traffic-y but well worth it. Bonus for running first marathon on a holiday weekend Saturday: 2 extra days to recover before going back to work and being functional! Friend was able to pick up packet so did not go to expo. Overall, Highly recommend this race!
