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

Lack of stations. Danger on course/roads. Not well organized. It can be fun when people dress for the Irish holiday, even though it is not a great course.

My first half marathon. Gorgeous New England woodland scenery. Not much of an expo or anything beforehand (at least, not in 2015) but fantastic Smuttynose beer afterwards. I might have had one or three while waiting for my wife to finish the marathon.
