"Well organized, well supported race!" (about: 2013)
First Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 The only reason I didn't give the course 5 stars was because it was not truly a flat course. Lots of little up & downs, which is fine, but it's not flat! Great support and cheering sections out on the course. Well organized start/finish area. And water stations - is it possible to have almost too many?! | |

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Thanks for cutting down the end loop of Mt St Mary for the half. Wasn't crazy about the rocky path in Japanese Garden but that may have been a one time thing. Would love to see chocolate milk at the finish next year!! | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 What an awesome marathon. Running next to the river nearly the entire time on various paths, bridges and all in the shade for the most part. Very well organized, plenty of treats in the end. Nice medals were handed out for all 3 races. I had an absolute blast and can't wait for next year. | |

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Extremely well organized and staffed along the course route. More than enough porta johns at the Start (i.e. no waiting more than 3 people!) and along route. Beautiful course alongside the Fox River the whole way. Awesome multi-community and spectator support. | |

"Small town feel with big city perks, perfection!" (about: 2013)
First Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Great course on the river trails through several riverside towns!! Loved everything from the fully-supported free training runs, getting to know the volunteers and race directors, fellow runners along the way. A fantastic announcer, making everyone feel cared for and celebrated. Great race, all around! |
