I have created a running website named www.askrunguy.com based on having run over 100 half marathons, including all fifty US states and several other countries; and several full marathons, with a goal of running all six World Major marathons. Below is a template for comments for my rating each race:

Race: Shamrock half marathon 2011 Virginia Beach, VA
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads around Virginia Beach; finish on boardwalk right along Atlantic ocean
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): Great expo!, Strong fan support
Support (fans, music on course): Good support on the course
Course Scenery: Outstanding scenery – one of the most beautiful races to run: parks, forest, then ocean
Course Difficulty: Pretty flat; not too difficult
Weather / Temperature: Pretty cool at race time to begin the race
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): Lots of things to do around the ocean and beach
Logistics (Getting to the race site): easy access via airports fairly close
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): Wonderful shirt and medal – Shamrock / St. Patrick’s Day theme
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Superb. Large party tent with great food and Yuengling beer!

I provide running and racing resources for all levels of runners at www.askrunguy.com. I also share information that I believe is interesting and helpful to the running community. I encourage you to visit www.askrunguy.com
