Fun marathon! Fast course but long.
Louisville is a fun town with lots to do and see. I spent a lot of time sightseeing before the race and there are many hotels to choose from. The expo was a decent size. The shirt was nice, a red half zip. The marathon starts in the city, goes into Churchill Downs - that was so much fun, then eventually over a pedestrian bridge to Indiana and back. I wasn't sure I would enjoy the paved park setting but it was quite enjoyable and I wasn't bored. The last mile featured a nice downhill to the more level finish area, but after all the positive things to say about the course, it measured long. I had 26.66 miles. I know about running tangents and I wasn't the only one whose watch measured a long course. Several people missed a BQ by a few minutes because of it. The medal and post race party were good. There was a long walk back to the city hotels but it gave the legs a good cooldown.
