Beautiful course, lots of hills.

Beautiful course, volunteers were fantastic. Few spectators but they were very supportive. I ran this as my first Marathon. I was not prepared for the amount of hills... they were everywhere. The worst one was between mile 21 and 23. Challenging course for a first timer, I would probably do it again if I trained on hills for 15 miles. Completed. I'm 4:15, I really wanted a sub 4 but ended up having to walk some hills at the end which slowed me down. 100% recommend this Marathon.
