"One of the most scenic courses I've been on, including several miles along the Cape Cod coast. Other than a few miles in the middle of course, the whole course was beautiful. It's the first marathon relay I've done and the organizers did a nice job in running the parallel races.

The front half is mostly flat and the back half had some rollers but overall the terrain is very manageable.

A couple of suggestions:
add a couple more aid stations and supply something other than 100 calorie craisins for post race food after the race!"

"This was a very difficult, hilly course. I swear, the entire first 20 miles was just hills, upon hills, upon more hills. This would be a terrible marathon for anyone interested in qualifying for Boston. That being said, the experience overall was very pleasant. The number of runners is not very large, so there are no crowding issues. The weather during the year that I ran was perfect, and the scenery was great (fall colored leaves), assuming you have the energy to look around...

The race is well organized, with breakfast provided before the race, and massages/trinkets provided after. Falmouth (where the race is held) is a nice little town/city...and more importantly, they have plenty of places to load up on carbs the days before the race. Make sure you make a reservation for dinner the night before, though, as it was almost impossible to find a restaurant with pasta!"
