Short version: This is literally the most poorly managed race I've ever done. I was pretty annoyed with all the hassles last year, so was on the fence about doing it again. But even though it is only a month away, they don't seem to be doing any better

There were so many spectators that I lost track of time and distance and ended up with a PR.

This is a great race and well-executed marathon. There are three distances available, but I liked that all the distances started at the same time and we could run together for a while. This wasn't a huge race, and I liked the personal feel and the course was along a river
