Fast Course, Windy, & Friendly Vibe
This marathon is small-less than 3000 runners, and it covers some quiet areas through the town, along the water, in some parks, and in neighborhood streets. It's not boring though-there are spots in the neighborhoods and parks where families are cheering, some have pieces of fruit for the runners. Along the water, it was slightly windy, and I wish I had dressed better for the weather. My one compliant is that the start was confusing and slightly unorganized. The half marathon and full start together, and the start line is on the road. Instead of putting the half runners on one side and the full on the other, it was just a mix, and I spent time weaving around people. Otherwise, a very memorable race, which was followed by their 'culture night' with some restaurants cooking on the street, live music, fireworks, etc.
