"There not much i can say that I didn't like about this race.It was very small but the organiztion was outstandng the quaility of supporters were great. I would suggest that next year if you bring supporters with you have them set on the oppsite side of the lake from where the race starts. The race is 3 laps around a lake which gets a little boring on the 3rd lap. I can't say enough about how nice the time people were. One of the time guys brought me a gatoraid after the race when i was walking to my car. The race was on a very hot day. Which i guess prefer over cold weather. The course is for the most part flat with a few tiny hills and i mean tiny . The race area is very beautiful.The only part I didn't like about the course was he small area from the 7-11 back to the park there was a very narrow area to run and there were alot of cyclist coming the opposite direction.This marathon would be great for some who wanted to run a marathon for the 1st time. Overall I will run this marathon again and I had alot of fun ! "
