Mississippi Blues Marathon

Left feeling a bit in the twilight zone after this race. It's literally called the MS Blues marathon, and advertises 'live blues bands every 2 mi of the course,' yet there were no bands! There was ONE guitarist picking softly at mi 4, and two guitarists playing around at mi 7. That was literally it. The website mentions pacers yet there were none. The aid stations were bare bones. Most had only water. A few had gatorade. Only ONE had gu. No other nutrition so bring your own! The address for packet pickup was the Capitol building, yet the tent was across the street and down a hill (not visible from street) without any signage.. Overall I don't think you get your value from this race. It felt pretty low-budget and poorly organized.

Four of us came to this marathon and four of us were disappointed &.the course was filled with potholes, we were running in traffic, the finish line ran out of Gatorade and they closed the medical tent before the marathon was over. Although it was promised, there was no fuel on the course for the half marathon.
