"Great race - plan to do it again next year!" (about: 2006)

| 1 Route 66 Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 You'd never know this was an inaugural event. The organizers did a fanastic job - from the expo, to the start, to the aid stations, to the finish, to the racers' premiums. And the weather cooperated beautifully. I live in Virginia now, but am totally proud of the job my hometown did on this marathon - I plan to be back! | |

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Congratulations to Chris Lieberman and his team for putting on a great marathon! Everything seemed to go smooth for this fisrt time event. From parking to packet pickup we had no problems. The flyover at the start was cool, traffic control was excellent,water stops were plentiful, and the volunteers and host hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.The finishers technical shirts and sandals were awesome and the sweatshirt is great! Crowd support was limited but that was ok, the friendliness and encouragement of the other runners made up for that!Only drawback...finishers food seemed to be running out early. But you can be sure I'll be back! | |

"Thanks, Bobby, for helping me reach my goal" (about: 2006)

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Had a great time. Without the 3:30 pacer, Bobby, I would have never made my goal. Don't know if I want to run that fast again though. Spectators were great; volunteers were very cheerful. Was my first marathon, but definitely not my last. | |

"I can't believe this is first time race" (about: 2006)
11-50 previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my 34th marathon and I can't believe how well it was organized and run. From the pasta dinner, to the on-time start, to the aid stations, to the fans,food after the race, (free beer also) it was nearly perfect. Kudos to the organizers-you did a great job. Good luck living up to it next year because you set the bar unbelievably high. At the 5 1/2 hour mark we went back down to the finish line and the announcer was still calling every runners name, and for the first time finishers, telling them, 'you ARE a marathon runner.' At 6 hours the food tent was still dishing out pizza, cookies, rice and beans, etc. Usually in my evaluations I try to suggest improvements, and it's hard to do for this race. I've already recommended this race to others When I get all 50 states done, this is one I'll come back to for sure. Also, it's about 9pm on race nite, and the results are posted online already....... |
