This was my first marathon. I had a great time. The course was easy to follow. The run itself was nice. Very flat, one hill that you went up twice. The set up was great and the aid stations were great also. I would definitely do this race as a qualifier for Boston or just as a first marathon. The parking is a little difficult as the race has grown since I've been there. The management of the race was very well done. I was unable to really attend the expo so I couldn't tell you much about that.
