"Still Poorly Organized and supported" (about: 2011)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Mangrove Marathon
COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 1 FANS: 1 I ran the 1/2 marathon. Second year and still a fiasco. Most of the lead runners took a wrong turn in the first mile that added up to a half mile extra. No excuse for not having staff direct the pack. Also, no split times anywhere on the course. It cost me $152 for two people to enter. Not again. | |

MORE than enough water tables and the finishline (neat food box) as well as pleanty of other neat stacks - well I was proud to be a part of it and proud to know many of the Speeders and others folks there. See you next year!! | |

"Not a great experience" (about: 2011)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Mangrove Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 2 Volunteers were GREAT; The race was disorganized; Race map not online & half the field went off-course, following lead vehicle; Water was in shot glass size cups; medals cheap, awards cheaper, no real food after race except milk & Cliff bars. Just seemed like a lot of money for a race that really cut corners | |

"Cape Coral, FL - the marathon to run!" (about: 2010)
50+ previous marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 This was the first year for this marathon, and even with a few small things "not just right" (late start, one area with no water, etc.) folks like the SPEEDSTERS and WEEKEND WARRIORS touched my life in a mighty way. Runners like them bring the sport of running to the highest level, showing what it is really all about! I look forward to the marathon next year! ( : -RICK | |

"Great half, awful full." (about: 2010)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Mangrove Marathon
COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 1 Sometimes marathon organizers should start small. The half marathon of the Mangrove Marathon was well organized and it was a very nice course, but after 13.1 everything went down hill. There was obviously a major organizational gaffe after 13.1 miles, because there were very few water stops and no gels, and just when you needed them most. I hope that a greater effort is made in the future to get more of the community and schools involved because there were really no spectators. It was too expensive for a first-time marathon, and it really wasn't worth it. |
