Course needs to be changed.
I have ran this race over 20 times (half/full). The course was recently changed. Not a spectator friendly course at all. Race consisted of up and back routes, bank lines and obscure roads to nowhere. Mitchell Field and N.C. College are great examples. No water stations at every mile. No clocks at all on the course. The worst race that this marathon/half marathon has ever had. A very small turnout. This used to be THE race on Long Island for many years, but not with this racing group that heads it and made the course changes. Need to put people in charge that have some imagination for a racing course, even if if means reinstating a previous course.
