"Flat fast and beautifull views" (about: 2012)
50+ previous marathons
| 2 Tri-Cities Marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 Very underrated marathon. Good bang for your buck. Not a lot of spectaters buy good number of volunteers. If you like running along water with elevated view this is the marathon for you. Good finish line atmosphere, kinda homey and chatty. | |

"A Secret Treasure" (about: 2011)
11-50 previous marathons
| 3 Tri-Cities Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This race is not only one of the best marathons around for the money - it's one of the best marathons period. Great organization with plenty of water stops and helpful volunteers. The course is flat and fast and the neighbors along the way come out and cheer the runners. Thank you again for a superb race. | |

"Enjoyable Marathon along the Columbia River" (about: 2011)
11-50 previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I thoroughly enjoyed my experience running the Tri Cities. The course went along the scenic Columbia River pathways with virtually no vehicle traffic to worry about. The volunteers were great and the hospitality at the host hotel was excellent. After running a number of big city marathons it was a real treat to have the start and finish line right outside my hotel door. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Breezy conditions did nothing to detract from the beautiful setting and very fast course. Excellent organization along with very helpful volunteers. Thank you once again. We will be back. | |

"Nice event" (about: 2010)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Tri-Cities Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 Yesterday's race was just as the previous year's reviews said. The course was flat, except for the 4 bridge crossings we made over the Columbia River (significant), and when the wind picked up late in the race, it was a factor. But, you can't blame the weather on the event organizers. I'd do the race again, if I lived closer. The Shilo Inn (host hotel) was SO convenient, since the race began and ended there. The early start offered helped too, and that again goes down to the good organizers. If you live in the area or are looking for a nice run in a lovely part of the country, do this one. | |

"Really pretty great and good." (about: 2009)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Tri-Cities Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 1 Hotel room was 100 yards from start and finish. That is easily the best part. We were lucky with the weather this year as the there was zero wind to speak of and clear skies. It was, however, about 33 degrees at the start. Solid aid on the course for sure. Painful last 10 miles in a straight line up the Columbia River to the Shilo. It was mentally taxing to go 10 straight miles on paved trail from 17-26. Then again, that would have been taxing no matter what. Why does anyone run these things anyway? They're all really freaking hard and it always hurts a lot, but what the heck? We do it anyway. | |

11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Tri-Cities Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I cannot say enough about this race: Fast course, great fans along the way, and beautiful scenery along the Columbia River and over the bridges. Lots of aid stations. First-class all the way. Thank you. | |

"Small, lovely, well-organized, fast. Love it!" (about: 2009)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Tri-Cities Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I signed up for this race the day before, at the expo, as a do-over for the crappy marathon I ran the weekend before. I wound up having a great time, qualifying for Boston, and probably enjoying this race more than I've ever enjoyed a marathon before. The course is fast, pretty, and well-marked. The spectators and volunteers were friendly and helpful. I'll definitely do this one again. |
