love this race, great course, good stops, good goody bag, wish all races were this well put on, will be back next year and will bring a friend or two !!!
The overall marathon was fine. The course was tough, due to the several inclines and heat. The race support was great, although there should've been water stations at every mile, especially for the shorter races. It probably would've been better to have the county cops patrolling rather than the city police, which was limited at times. Overall it was a good experience
It was a great experience! Things to make it better would be more information in the registration packet such as what time to be there on race day, where to put the pins, and a schedule of events (prayer, National Anthem, start). The website listed staggered race starts, but all races began at the same time, so maybe the same information online as in the packet.
This was my 49th State in running marathons. I enjoyed this race. The course was just right with the hills out and back. Not crazy about how close the trucks got however. Signage was great. Volunteers wonderful. Just enough aide stations. The beer was great at the finish. I also enjoyed visiting with the many churches and booths afterwards. Beautiful National Forest.

This was my first ever race of any distance. Marathon was a great experience if you want something smaller which I did. People were super friendly and made me feel welcome and ready to run! Route total elevation wasn't much but lots of hills so make sure you adequately train (I don't think I did!) On hills
