A great urban marathon!

Loved this race! While the expo was very underwhelming (they didn't even have Goodrs!), the race itself was awesome! We had perfect weather, which helped. There is a mild hill at mile 2.5, but then most of the rest of the course is FLAT. I was nervous that the out-and-back on the bike trail (miles 4-12) would be dead, but there were quite a few spectators cheering us along and that was great to see. The after party had great beer options and delicious food trucks. Overall, it exceeded my expectations!
