"My first and last time running this" (about: 2008)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 1 ORGANIZATION: 1 FANS: 4 I have done several marathons previously and I must say that this was the absolute worst race I have ever participated in. I was looking forward to it, but it seemed to be a terribly organized race. There wasn't enough water on the course, the miles were not clearly marked, and the roads were not closed to traffic, so cars were zipping past me the whole time. The expo was not even worth going to. It was a challenging course and would have been at least scenic if it had not been a foggy day; unfortunately, those were its only strong points. I would not recommend this race to anyone and I definitely will not be doing it again. | |

"1st marathon - perfect course" (about: 2008)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was the PERFECT course to run a first marathon!! Not too many people, and I hardly thought about how many more miles I had to go because it was so beautiful. I was amazed by the whole experience. The spectators carried me though a lot of it, and so did the other runners. Thank you, 2008 runners, spectators and volunteers! I'll be back for more. | |

"Most Scenic New England Marathon" (about: 2007)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 I have run or watched other marathons and other distance races in New England and in my opinion there is no better marathon in New England than this for scenery. Every part of the course is fantastic. Every marathoner should make this a must-do if they are considering a marathon in the area. The fall weather here is great for running and the weather was just about ideal for this race in 2007. I wish I could have said the same about my race strategy, as I went out too fast and paid for it at the end! | |

"Right size, right place, right course" (about: 2007)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 As other comments note, this is a well run, well organized marathon. My only suggestion for improvement would be to mark the miles better. I missed several mile markers (some were just painted on the road; others were marked only by tiny signs on the roadside). It threw off my time, as I wasn't sure whether I'd hit another mile at some points. ...And I would really appreciate it if race officials would come through on their threats to kick bicyclists off the course. There were a few bikers weaving in & out, giving aid to their friends and then causing confusion with oncoming cars (another issue). Please enforce your rules.They're for the greater good! | |

"one of the best" (about: 2007)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Best scenery of any road course I've run. Course is tougher than it looks. First half flies by, but second half is very rolling and some of the hills will get your attention. Very good organization, friendly faces everywhere, good food after it was over. I'd be hard pressed to find fault with any part of the race. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was a well organized race with a beautiful course through scenic Falmouth and beach landscapes. The weather could not have been better. I will be back next year and would highly recommend this race. | |

"Great scenery and fun course" (about: 2007)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my first marathon and I wanted to run on the East Coast. We lucked out on the weather and the scenery was awesome. The crowd support and encouragement from fellow runners kept me going through the rolling hills. I'll definitely be back. | |

"The beautiful scenery took your mind off the pain!" (about: 2007)
2 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Just when I wanted to give in, I came around the corner and WOW, a beautiful seascape! I've only run a few marathons, but for me, someone who loves to see new beautiful places, this was wonderful. Ever consider a triathlon in the same area? I'd definitely come back for more. | |

"A great experience." (about: 2007)
2 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Two days later, after flying back to Iowa, I'm still basking in the afterglow of the event that lived up to all my dreams (well, most of them). I not only was able to knock an hour off of my previous CC Marathon time, but I qualified for Boston with a minute to spare. The fans, the weather, the beauty of the course along with family support all contributed to the joy of reading "BQ" after my results. Thanks. | |

"Terrific event" (about: 2007)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Cape Cod Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This is a beautiful course. The event was very well organized with terrific fans. Take the first 10 miles easy or you will pay with the hills in the 2nd half of the race. I highly recommend this race. |
