Review
I ran this twice: The first two loops are awesome great views of the reservoir and wide dirt road with some slight hills; This course lacks support so if you need that and a lot of noise this is not your race: you will be running alone a lot: The course is well marked with water stops. The finish is a challenge 2 miles slight to moderate uphill with the last 3/4 mile slightly steep.
Race Tips
Save something for the finish hills. bring your support team if you need one. maybe carry water if afraid or need more than usual. I feel finishing this marathon is an accomplishment because it is a challenge. This is one of the oldest in the country(I was told)
