A Runner from Salt Lake City, UT (11/4/2002)

"They did a fine job for the first year" (about: 2002)

COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4

The down side to this marathon was; It was unseasonable cold. The marathon route was altered at the last minute due to lack of volunteers. We had to run the 1/2 route twice. This was Okay but those hills got a lot steeper the second time around.
There was a lot of good to this marathon; The organizers did a fine job pulling everything together. Loved the atmosphere of a small marathon. I could drive to the race start and sit in my warm car 25 yards from the start line. The volunteers and crowd were encouraging even though they had to be in the cold longer than I did. The police department did a great job with traffic. Nice graphics on the shirt. Next time they need to spring for coolmax. Cotton isn't used much by runners anymore. Great sponsorship (lots of goodies). I would run this one again. Hopefully it doesn't grow too big.

A Runner from Boise, Idaho (11/3/2002)

"Terrific organization for first time event!" (about: 2002)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4

Running in Boise proved to be a lot of fun. Course, start and finish location, parking and water stops were perfect for the size of the crowd. The city made a great effort to keep runners motivated with cheering, music, and water/food stops. Weather was great, chilly, sunny, no wind! Way to go Boise Idaho
