As with all Rock n Roll races, the logistics of packet pickup, race start, aid stations, finish corrals are all taken care of and easy for first timers to figure out. Weather was clear and a perfect 45 degrees. Good crowds on course. Only Negative is you MUST pay

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

Obviously you run the risk of freezing your tail off but thankfully the course they have is through nice and quiet streets with small hills. The fact you can stay inside the gym before and race the race if it's real cold helps alot.

Would run this race again.
