"Great Boston qualifier" (about: 1995)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I ran this course in 1995. Be careful as I remember the first twenty miles seemed to be all down hill. Don't get carried away on downhills. A great race if your used to running alone. | |

"A very scenic marathon for the first half" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Wow! The first half or so of this marathon was extremely pleasant and beautiful, with incredible gold, red and brown leaves falling all around us on a comfortable trail by the water. Unfortunately, the second half of this race mostly trades in this scenery for asphalt and traffic and a dearth of shade. Crowds are sparce, but supportive. (Stay away from the sub-par Ramada Hotel; Crowne Plaza is a superior choice.) Overall, with the relatively small running crowds and the gentle downhill nature of the course, I would recommend this marathon. | |

"a great small marathon" (General Comments)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I've finished this twice and did a 20 mile workout once; it's a great small marathon, 500-1000? (I'm guessing). best features: you start in shade early in the morning in late Oct., after a few miles you're on a bike path and dirt paths for a good ten miles or so in complete shade along the river, it is so dark and cool and a great way to spend the first half; last half is suburbs and city streets and it is NOT scenic but for me the first half makes up for it. Crowds are slight but hey I don't need crowds. Race organization is superb, with many volunteers. |
