I ran the last leg of a relay team - what I liked most was the positive energy. Because I ran through the finish line, it was exciting seeing my team waiting there cheering me on along with other spectators and people that had finished.

However, the finish line was very crowded and they did not do a great job at moving people through the finish line once you got your medal and a lot of the after race tents where very close to the finish line. Also, the scenery on leg 5 was not the best - it goes through Easton and went under a weird bridge that curved above your head so getting a couple people through that part and one time was a little difficult.

in 2015, I volunteered as a course marshall - what a great experience tocheer on all the runners as they came through!
