"First ever Santa Rosa Marathon...well organized leading up to and thru the race. The course was easy...flat and fast...2 loops same course. On a paved and non paved trail the entire 26.2! I liked it because I knew when I needed to push and when I was could cruise. The marathoners went out with the half marathoners so that was hard to control the first half..hard to neg split for sure. The course support was awesome..and there was plenty of aid thru out! The only disorg was at the end...no awards ceremony...BUT the swag was great! I won womens overall and AG so that made it even better! Doing it again next year!"
