"A diamond in the 'not so rough'" (about: 1996)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


I have fond memories of this Marathon because this is where I ran my PR! I have tried to come close (Chicago), but it must be something about the Wisconsin air that had me cruising that day. Try it...You will like it.

Sincerely,

"Great Scenery, Fast course, Perfect Climate" (General Comments)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 4


I have run this marathon 3 times and the half once. I have only had bad weather once (80 degrees in 1999). Normally it's about 45-55, PERFECT! You run through some awsome areas (Maple Bluff, The Arboretum, etc..) I turned in a Marathon PR in 99 and hope to qualify for Boston this year. I travel almost every Memorial day weekend to run this race since 96. I was injured in 98 and only ran the half which was still pretty cool. and I took a year off in 2000. I will be back this year though, COUNT ON IT!!!!!

"A lovely 'city' marathon" (General Comments)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This is a well organised event through one of America's prettiest towns, a tour of the city that sometimes felt like being in the country, crowds were supportive, the course fairly flat... lot's to do after the marathon... good for first timers as well as veterans.
