Well organized. Texas sized. Didn't expect the wind that blows gently,but continuously for days. Neither flat nor hilly, just a nice change up throughout the course. Lots of variation and felt like a faster run for me. Lots of energy at race start from crowd and announcers. Start of race

This was much first marathon and it was an awesome experience. The course and crowd support was top notch from beginning to end. Water and Gatorade were plentiful.
I do wish the finishers medals were a bit more elaborate for such an elite world class event. At the finish line, runners

Loved the #bestkeptsecretinkentucky course! Bring your camera for this one! Lots of natural arches, waterfalls, and creek crossings
