"Never would have guessed this was an inaugural" (about: 2006)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 5 Very well done. The course was smooth and flat. The only fault with the course is the rocky bit of path in Jenks; made for unsure footing. The spectators, police, and organizers were all helpful and very encouraging. Some of the mile markers were not properly located. I definitely recommend this marathon for anyone looking for a small field of runners and a fast course. | |

"High Marks to Event Directors & Volunteers" (about: 2006)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I want to give high Marks to the event Directors and Volunteers. This was definitely a class production. I highly recommend this Marathon, especially if you are looking for a professional, yet, 'hometown' event. I especially want to thank the Medical staff for taking such great care of the athletes. I, myself, needed attention after my race, and was tremendously impressed with the overall care and professionalism given to the athletes. The course was terrific, and the volunteers were first class. This one I will definitely do again. | |

"Too many hills at the end. Should have been in mid" (about: 2006)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 They didn't have the 'Inspiration Mile' as was anticipated. Also, there were a lot more attractions and perks for full marathoners than there were for half-marathoners, leaving half-marathoners feeling a little left out and ignored. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 I question the distance between mile 22 and 23...seemed to be about .35 long. | |

"Well organized for inagural, tough hilly finish" (about: 2006)
2 previous marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Overall impressed with Expo, organization of race, post race car show and festival feel with music and food was just great. Nice place to congregate. Would like to have seen the cheerleading and percussion or bands on course for the 1/2...really thought there would be more finishing spectators. Those there, though sparse for the most part, were encouraging and supportive. Very nice medal and logo. Hills were tough a the end even for a Missouri guy -would sure consider a flatter finish or park setting if possible. | |

"Overall it was great" (about: 2006)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This is only my 3rd half marathon, but it was one of the funnest by far. The hills at the end were tough, but I will train for them next year and be ready. I was a little disappointed that there were not more bands on the course and the mile of inspiration was not there. But everything else was AWESOME. I'm bringng more friends with me next year. | |

"Very Well Done for Inagural Marathon" (about: 2006)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I was very happy I opted to do this run. It was obvious a lot of time went into organizing this event. The course is flat till you get to around 23 miles and then there are hills and an uphill finish. Knowing this ahead of time would have been a benifit (drive the course). The finish venue was very well organized making it easy to meet family/friends and get food (and beer). Look forward to doing this race again next year knowing what I know now. | |

"Good effort for a first time marathon" (about: 2006)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I ran the half marathon course. The course was pretty flat with some hills. There were ample water stops with power gel being handed out twice since there was a turnaround area. Not many spectators showed up but the ones who did were supportive. Great finisher medals and the sweatshirt for signing up was nice too. I think it was a good first marathon and feel like this race will only continue to improve and grow in the years to come. | |

"Very good, Tulsa" (about: 2006)
2 previous marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I think all of those involved in organizing this marathon should be proud. This is the kind of race that I expect from a city with as strong a running community as Tulsa's. As a former Tulsa area resident, it was great to be back running along my favorite section of the Arkansas River. It was also great to see familiar faces along the way. The only part of the race course I wasn't too keen with was that undeveloped parking lot entrance in Jenks... but that is about it for carps. I hope that this marathon returns with the same level of organization, and that the general Tulsa community understands how a well run event such as this adds immeasurable value to the city. | |

"Not much public interest." (about: 2006)
First Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I believe the closeness of the annual Tulsa Run probably took away some of the splash of the first Route 66 Marathon. Hopefully there will be more spectators and more music along the route in future years. Hydration stations were well placed. This was my first event (Half Marathon) so I really have nothing to compare it against, but news coverage of events in other locations seems to indicate large spectator groups that we did not have. I walked/jogged the event with my wife this year and we are planning to do it again next year. |
