"Beautiful scenery for a marathon!" (about: 2013)
2 previous marathons
| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I had an absolute blast up in Corning for the 2013 Wineglass Full Marathon. The scenery was beautiful and if it had been just a little cooler, I'd say it would have been an almost perfect race. My only complaints would be with the latter half of the race, which wasn't as scenic, but that last dash down Main Street definitely made it all worth while. The course was also not as 'flat' as some would have you believe, so throw some hill training into your routine. The goodies were great as well and the medal is unique and a great conversation piece. Overall, I'll be back again. Maybe not next year, but definitely down the line! | |

"Do It! Well organized and great volunteers" (about: 2013)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 First of all, how many races let you defer to the next year if you get injured? Not many. I highly recommend this race!!! The expo is small,which is fine by me. The shuttles to the start were fast. There were plenty of porta potties at the start,plus a covered building to wait in before the start of the race. The volunteers were always helpful. The 2nd half of the marathon was hot & at 1 water stop the volunteers put ice in the water. Thank you! It's a net downhill race, so prepare your quads! Miles 23-25 are run in a park, which is a nice change from running on the state roads for most of the time. It's a small race, but they kept the finish line open for a few us who finished over the course time limit & cheered us on. I will do the half next year only because my body doesn't hold up to the full marathon distance. | |

"good race organization, brutal run" (about: 2013)
6-10 previous marathons
COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 The race was well organized, good water stations, and I liked the availability of GU and GU Chomps. There should be some sort of food - oranges or bananas at the later miles. The crowd support was surprisingly good for the small towns. The course is brutal, bad camber, rough road in some places. The second half is not very scenic as it runs along a highway. (The first half does, too, but it was a little better) | |

"Nice scenic course and quaint setting" (about: 2013)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Nicely organized race. Temps were warmer in mid 60s which impacted time but otherwise nice weekend. The post race setting was great with too many food and drink choices to choose from or list all (soup, pizza, soda, cookies,Gatorade,etc)- but by far the most options for any runner Leaves are turning this time of year which makes for nice views while running. | |

"There were some problems..." (about: 2013)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 3 I entered this race because of the great reviews from previous years.... and honestly, there are some problems. One is a lack of information... Folks at the dropoff didn't know where the gear truck was located, tried to get into the after party but couldn't find the entrance. Supposedly, wineglasses were given out... but I have no idea where. If this race is going to be a draw outside the local area - have better information available! Also - 2013 was a really hot race (80 degrees). Think about starting at 7 or 7:30 AM... Big stretches of the route are all sun.... | |

"Loved it!" (about: 2013)
6-10 previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my first Wineglass marathon and I had heard all good things leading up to it, so expectations were high. They did not disappoint! The water stations were well-staffed with helpful volunteers and lots of water/Gatorade. The spectators were thin in the rural parts of the course, but where they appeared they were enthusiastic! Best finish line food I've ever seen (although I wasn't up for enjoying it at the time) and the medal is gorgeous. Thank you, Wineglass and Corning! Great event! | |

"Well organized-Nice course" (about: 2013)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This is a well organized race on a very flat course with just a few short hills. Ligistics are wonderful in getting to the start/finish and expo. You can get dropped off about a half mile from the start by having someone drive you, or take the provided buses. Crowd support is limited in some sections, but when present, were very supportive. Corning itself is a nice little town and worth the trip. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 On the right day this could be a PR course, net down hill. I had a bad day but sometimes not everything lines up. On a good day i think i could BQ on this course. Great orginaztion awesome aide stations and crowd support | |

"Great, relatively flat course!" (about: 2013)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I thoroughly enjoyed running my first Wineglass this past year. Based on everyone's comments from marathonguide.com, I knew I wanted to run this net downhill course. There some hills but they were gradual and gentle and spread out over a longer distance. If you're familiar with Central Park hills, those had steeper grades than the ones at Wineglass. This year, the weather was 20 degrees warmer at the start and it was quite humid. Otherwise, there were hydration stations every 2 miles (some say that is too few and far between, but I thought it was fine). It was beautiful and cut through many residential neighborhoods and streets. The only thing I didn't like was that there weren't that many spectators (which I expected, but I did not expect for Market Street to not be crowded). Overall, the volunteers were helpful and fantastic and I heard that some of my fellow runners successfully bq'd! :) | |
