York Marathon and Half Marathon

This was my third marathon and even though it does not have the feel of a big time race, it was still a very nice well organized event. It was nice the marathoners started an hour before the half. 6 AM is an early start but you are done sooner and you can enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature as you run on the trail early in the morning. Not many spectators but when there was they were very supportive. Aid stations always had gels, Gatorade and water.Volunteers were great at directing traffic. Like I said, it's not a big time race, no expo or much crowd support. It's a flat and fast course. The course is over marked. My watch said 26.5 miles. So beware if you are trying to PR. I still was able to get my sub 4 hour goal. Great finish line and after party. I would run this race again.
