This was my first full marathon.
The expo is great, lots of vendors and is a serpent style so you see everything before you get your bib. Your packet pickup is down the flight of steps so be prepared to go up and down a long flight.
The course is fairly flat with just a few ramps/hills. The actual course is a variety of scenery which is nice change of pace. There is some great crowd support on the main roads but a lot of solo time while running on the base and area around it.
The race was well organized except the parking. The finish line is great and has a ton of spectators, it is awesome to run past the airplanes!!!
Parking is a mess, it is a far walk, it is in a wet field and getting out is ridiculous. Give yourself plenty of time before and after! I did not take a shuttle but heard they aren't great, so just be prepared before and after to have plenty of time to get there and get back out.
Overall, this is a great race and lots of fun.
