With growing up south of the Twin Cities area, my first marathon was always going to be TC. It is such a wonderful course that takes you along the chain of lakes and river roads. The crowd support it AMAZING! The last 10k rolls a bit, but there is people lining the sides!!

The aid stations have both water and powerade. There is a few stops that also provide GU gels and 1/4 of a banana. Be ready to crush through the wall at mile 20!
