Great course, very well organized, few spectators

Ran the full marathon. Course was well laid out and was flat and fast. Good organization leading up to and during the event. Spectators are few and far between (if you need that & I don't), but be prepared for oblivious pedestrians to aimlessly walk across the street and cut you off. Police did a great job keeping vehicles away from runners so that was good.
