Capital City Marathon

Very well organized race, rolling hills with their own version of heartbreak hill around 22 I think. Decently scenic course (if you like woods/forest/occasional water mixed with more urban at the beginning and end). Lots of turns but well marked and volunteers at every turn to point you where to go. As mentioned in another review, half marathon started 45 minutes later which was nice for a less congested start. Aid stations about every two miles which made planning very easy. Good post race food (pizza, fruit, etc.). Not a lot of crowds early, but two or three house parties after mile 20 were pretty cool. Most of the roads are minimally closed/controlled before getting back into Olympia proper. Nice smaller race if you need a Washington marathon.
