Love this race more and more every year! The course is very pretty and the separation from the half marathoners is well-timed. The organization is very thoughtful. If you are staying at the race hotel be sure to call them directly to ensure you are part of the group rate or otherwise have a ticket reserved for the bus. The hotel, not the race, was very difficult about this.

I wish there was a satellite view of the race area printed out. Especially near the end with the turns it seemed long since I didn't know what to expect. Overall great race

Not a bad choice if you need a BQ (Boston Qualifier). Course description on website is good/accurate. Caveat: course profile graphic visually misleading because of scale. Course will feel mostly flat after steeper downhill at start. While significantly net downhill (2200 feet), be ready for 3 sets of hills, especially miles 10-12. I wore singlet and shorts, ears covered (buff) and gloves at the start. It was about 44 at the 7am gun (always feels colder in the dark. And there was no wind); 67 at the finish area by 11am. If you cant stand being cold, wear light layers to toss. Unless you routinely wear tights and long sleeves when its 60 or warmer, leave the tights in your gear bag! Youll thank yourself when you get out on the hiway in the sun. (Dont forget sunblock how often do you get to put that stuff on at 6am in the dark?!). Pretty long section (the middle 15 miles) on the shoulder of hiway, (otherwise would have given course a 4-5star), but very well managed separation from traffic - most of the time a full traffic lane buffer.

There is about 2000 feet of elevation drop over the course of the marathon, so you have to train your quads and do some downhill training runs in order to be competitive in this race. There are several rolling hills but mostly its a straight shot right down the 77.
