First time this year and it was awesome. Beautiful course, everything is extremely organized, water and gatorade every mile. I wouldn't have minded if they had another powerbar gel station earlier (mile 10 or so) as the only one is at mile 17, but was fine to carry my own nutrition. Finisher medals and shirts were also very classy. Parking in the Copley Square garage was easy, if not a little pricey, but as expected. Expo was jammed - they really need a bigger venue for that. Plan to return in the future!

Very well organized 5k, great atmosphere, and proceeds benefit the community. Course is well marked, post race food is pretty good with Clif Bar, dark chocolate covered pomegranate, and pancake breakfast available. Shirts that used to be Mizuno branded are now generic - not a big deal if that helps the race be successful. Will be back next year.

Pretty cool city for a marathon. The first half of the marathon was awesome. After that, the course puts you on a long out and back that is somewhat lackluster.

The course twists around the lakefront paths, which are also not blocked off to regular traffic. Last year the course seemed to be measured incorrectly, or at least the first mile marker was off. Overall, it was a nice night to hangout, but I won't make a point of returning. Also, the timing was all messed up and not sure if it really ever got sorted out.

Have run this event several times - it's well-organized, good size, and shows you most of the Green Bay area. They also have world-class pacers at this event. Would be nice if the last couple miles didn't weave you around some residential streets, but I hear they are changing the course for this year.
