Very good race. I will do this event every single year. They just need to have 5-year age divisions instead of 10-year when you have so many people. They even gave a Finisher Medal.

Great timing and of course it was a Chronotrack timer so you know the timing is spot on.

The course for the half wasn't bad at all, there were so many supporters on the side of the road - I truly enjoyed this race! It was extremely hot in Cleveland that morning which was the only downside. Other than that, everything was very well put together and organized. Definitely

"Ran this in 2013 and 2014. Last year, I followed it with the NYCM the following week.

Fairly standard NYRR race -- typical packet pick-up/ race start/ corral set-up/ run through Central Park.

The difference is the vibe. Given the ""kick-off"" to marathon week, all of the runners are pretty excited.
