This was my first time running this marathon after moving to the East coast from Texas. It was a fantastic course for scenery and speed! Elevation gain was only around 600ft over the entire course. There was not too many turns to deal with. Running along the river was beautiful and running through some of the neighborhoods and the town areas were very pretty. We also had PERFECT weather out there with mid 40s and sun, so it was a great day to race. Will definitely do this race again after setting a PR by 7 minutes! Helpers were great. Aid stations were great. Just an overall wonderful race. Big party at the end on the river too which was fun. MM#3197
