Wineglass Marathon

Ran Corning twice. Very well organized and coordinated. Start area and logistics for a point-to-point race were great. Pace groups are nice for those looking for that type of thing. Enjoyed the course but if you're looking for excitement and non-stop crowds - probably not the one for you.

First Wineglass Marathon and traveled 9+ hours driving to participate. In short, I was very underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend it unless you live in the area. The Pro's: Well organized in terms of busses to the start, porta-potties and the finish line experience. The Con's: I was with a group that missed a turn in the race because there wasn't a volunteer or course official at that corner and added on .75mi to my race distance - I consider this unacceptable. Secondly, I found the course to be very boring. In my mind I was thinking 'Finger Lakes' in reality was farm & highway views. Lastly, the race was very expensive and I personally didn't feel like the value was worth the entry fee - just my opinion. The course is fast if that is what you are looking for...but above all else the race director should be supremely concerned about runners making the correct turns.
