Salina Crossroads Marathon Reviews

  Double Loop

By RG about 2024

Review

I give them effort for trying to make this race grow with the low registration fees. Double loop, lack of scenery and lack of crowd support for full marathoners really created a struggle. Packet pickup was just that. No expo with other vendors. If you are use to big races, with lots of runners and crowd support then this race is not for you.

Race Tips

Expect to be running solo after the half marathoners finish and don't expect lots of crowd support.

Parking was very easy as this was not a big race.

  Best in the Midwest!

Review

Course was well marked with arrows and friendly volunteers! The route was a mixture of blacktop and a section of crushed gravel.

Another plus was that after the race, arrangements had been made with the YMCA so we could take showers before going out to eat and the making the long drive home!!! Excellent communication from the RD and staff.

Plenty of FREE parking close to the race start.

  Well run event!!!
