"Challenging but awesome race.

- Packet - more goodies than most races.
- Swim - Even though it's far north it's still the Hudson. In 2013 we believe the course was short.
- Bike - Challenging hills but great course. Enough aid stations.
- Run - Challenging hills again but amazing crowd support. BEAUTIFUL

This is my 2nd time running this marathon. In 2015, I ran it for the first time and was my first marathon, so it holds a special place in my heart. Will continue to do it.

A nice course, though you start and end on an uphill, so be prepared for that. They do post the times on the gym wall, but it's had to see that small type, but I guess with an expected turnout of 2500 runners this year they had to fit everyone.
