I've run this race 15 times! It's well organized and in a spectacular location. Meb, Bill Rogers, Joan Benoit have run this race in the last few years. The course is breathtaking. Pre- and Post-race activities are plentiful. It's a great weekend destination. If you want to read my full review,

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.

Rolling hills, cool temperatures, fall foliage, swag!!! The after party was a little anticlimactic, but there was warm soup, a massage table and great swag. This race raised money for the Survival Center.
