This is my hometown race and it is run extremely well. The course is easy and fast and I ran my personal best here (2:38). I didn't experience a single unexpected obstacle. There are tons of people to run with, no matter how fast you are. I always had plenty of people to chase and compete with. I would recommend this race to anyone who wants to run a marathon. Only thing I was not crazy about was the expo, but I generally hate expos, so no surprise there.
