"This is a VERY small race and 2009 was the last year they held the full marathon. The course is a double loop and is through residential neighborhoods for the most part. Very little course support made it feel more like a training run than a race. However, this course currently holds my marathon PR :)"

"A good low-key race (not crowded; easy to get to the start; reasonable entry fees, etc.) Flat, but boring course; it\'s a half-marathon course and the marathoners just do it twice. I would do again, but prefer the more high-profile races at the moment."

"The course was fairly boring, alternating between residential districts and and railroad right of way. I will say it was nice to have the half-marathon start at the same time, because I could have a friend run the first 13 with me! It's a fairly flat course at least, and the 2-loop course is helpful for pacing."
