"Great Course!" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Well organized. Great course to run a PB on, and I should know: ran a 35-yr PB (2:58), after setting long-term PB's in previous 2 years on this course... 3:10, 3:03, and now 2:58! Course is flat, scenic & has NO TRAFFIC. | |

"Ray's Runners & Early Starters" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 THANK YOU for Ray's Runners! I finished my last marathon in 5:15+. I never gave up, but it was a little discouraging to be passed by faster runners during the entire event. Determined not to quit running marathons, I ran the Scotia Waterfront race, but with the 6:15 am starting crowd 'Ray's Runners'. I felt more energized being with people I could keep up with and finishing with the bulk of the crowd vs. bringing up the rear. I am sure this was a major contribution to shaving 45 minutes off my last time. Bless your heart Rays Runners! Wish every event would do this to encourage those of us just there to finish with a smile - no matter how long it takes. PS: BLESS THE VOLUNTEERS & POLICE who supported us before dawn. You're the best. Wish there was more opportunity for spectators to access the course along the way (parking, road access, or cycling). Getting in/out of the area was a challenge. But, I will definitely see you next year! | |

"Easy, flat course; well organized and executed" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Course is easy, out-and-back format. Flat overall with a few easy grades at intervals that won't destroy average runners. Ideal race as a Boston qualifier or a first-time marathoner. Excellent support on-course with water every 2-3 km, medical periodically. Enthusiastic crowds and supportive volunteers throughout. Well organized and executed! | |

"Take out the Leslie Spit portion" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 The course is great - except the Leslie Spit, which is too long, too boring, and has no spectators. Course should continue along Queen St. which would be more scenic and easier for spectators to get to. Course could do Queen Street to Silver Birch, then along the boardwalk, then maybe back via Queen Street. Much more scenic and goes through more city streets so spectators can come out. Also highlights the city for out-of-town runners (for example, run past City Hall). If you are interested, I would gladly prepare the route for next year!!! | |

"My first half-marathon experience was very " (about: 2003)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 I just wanted to say that for my first half-marathon race I had a great time at the Scotiabank Waterfront Half-Marathon. I especially want to say that the kids working the water stations were great - cheering and encouraging all of us. Thanks! | |

"Great Race" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was a great race, good fun and FLAT... The one thing I would improve next year is the KM markers. I ran the half and found myself confused as to which markers were for my race. Keep up the great work. I'm off to Athens next month to run the marathon and the challenge of a lifetime... | |
