Scenic small town race

Course was scenic - definitely rolling hills but nothing very steep or prolonged. Roads are not closed but only a handful of cars passed me during the whole race. Easy on race morning - we stayed about 10 minutes away and left 1/2 hour before race time but start line is actually the parking lot of a hotel so if you stay there you can truly just roll out of bed and be at the start. It's nice to go to the bathroom in your own room! Not a lot of spectators on course but the water station volunteers were great.

More hills than expected

Overall I enjoyed so much about this race. I thought the course was hilly so if you are going to do this race some of your training needs to include hills. But yes, I would do this race again.

Wonderful volunteers & scenic rolling course!

This was my 17th marathon and I was really impressed with the course route/design, volunteers and the aid stations. A car accident a few days prior to the race took out a bridge on the marathon course. This forced the race director to double-loop the route on the half marathon course. The route worked out great and they were even able to certify the course for Boston qualification. Although the overall elevation is somewhat daunting, the hills are not extreme and are truly the definition of rolling. I loved the convenience of the start/finish line proximity to the hotels and packet pick-up location. The swag was good and the average post-race food was made better with 2 free beers. I happened to be on the winning side (the North) and scored a race pint glass....a great keepsake.
