A. P. from United States (1/24/2018) "Great Race" (about: 2018) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 Great small marathon. Fast course. It's two laps on the AFB so there are no spectators.
Steve Rein from Duluth, Ga. (1/15/2017) "Mixed results" (about: 2017) 3 previous marathons \| 2 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathons COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 The race was delayed due to getting volunteers in place and it was hot for this time of year. They needed more water in the last few miles. The volunteers and staff was very nice. The unseasonable weather just made it a difficult day. Glad they had medical attention for those in need. Many cramped up and had issues. The is very little shade so it heated up quickly on the pavement. Spectators were sparse but greatly appreciated!
D. R. from Georgia (GA) (1/17/2015) "Great small marathon" (about: 2015) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I gave the spectators a 5 but there are no spectators because it's on a military base. However, the many number of volunteers make up for no spectators. We are marathon runners. We don't need spectators. If you do, you should only run 5K's. The packet pickup on race morning is in a huge plane hanger where they have lots of chairs setup so you can stay warm prior to race start. They had a men's choral group singing and a great military National Anthem. The race started on time and the marathon starts 15 minutes earlier to the start of the half. While we were on the course, there was a C130 plane revving the engines that you could hear over the whole course. Nice medal and shirt and plenty of food and drink at the finish. I will be back and you should run this race too!
S. F. from W. R. Ga (12/8/2014) "NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR HOT DRINK AFTER RACE!!!" (about: 2014) 11-50 previous marathons \| 6+ Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 1 Very nice race. well-run, very good double loop course. Run on air base. not meant for spectators - helps build mental toughness, great! In past years you could get some soup, hot chocolate or coffee at the end of the course. This year we were asked to pay a small fee at the end of the race for something hot to drink!!! That's crazy! So many people were shocked! We don't have money on our persons. It gets cold in Georgia, there has been some ice on the edge of the course in past years. You are cold after a marathon anyway. Who expects runners to have money on them as they finish the course. All we want is to warm up. Provide some hot drink as a courtesy to the runners!
G. B. from Tenn (1/25/2013) "Great atmosphere" (about: 2013) 2 previous marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I droved about 5 hrs for the run. Great atmosphere, well organized, great weather. I know there were 3 runners who were running a marathon for the first time and that is always exciting. One of the best things about running a marathon are the runners you run with and I was fortunate to run with some great folks. The volunteers were great, willing to help in any way. The RD was great in responding to my emails. Heard several jets fly over. I qualified as a maniac in this one, so it will always be special. Main con was the post race food. Not sure I will run it again, but it was a nice marathon and the weather was good. I stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites, right across the road from the museum. The folks at the hotel were great and tried to help each runner every way possible. The hotel opened up the breakfast area early and that was greatly appreciated. We were blessed to run the Aviation Museum Marathon. It was a great day in the neighborhood.
M. D. from Georgia USA (1/21/2013) "An Excellent small mid-winter race" (about: 2013) 50+ previous marathons \| 1 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This is one of my favorite races; it is run 90 minutes from my home and this was my 7th running of either the full or the half-marathon. This a great small mid-winter race and it gets better each year. It is two loops around the Air Force base. Not much spectator support. The lat 4 miles of each loop are the best as you run through the wetlands and may see an alligator, you go by the golf course, and by the horse stables. This race is highly recommended.
Allan Tetley from Atlanta, Georgia (1/20/2013) "Excellent small field, well organized event" (about: 2013) 1 previous marathon \| 1 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 1 I picked this marathon for my first crack at running one, based on location, course and time of year. What a well run event. Loads of volunteers, great on course water stations and a flat fast track. It does get lonely running alone, as the field is small. Tough for any spectators who are not military credentialed to view the race. Overall, since I did a BQ, it was a excellent fun marathon. Nice medals and trophies as well.
E. J. from Georgia (1/19/2013) "Museum is a must see!" (about: 2013) 6-10 previous marathons \| 1 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon COURSE: 1 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Not overly impressed with this course but it is flat so a person could definitely PR. The first ten miles were extremely boring with one or two spectators sprinkled in every mile or so. The event is very organized and they had numerous awards. The selection of post race food could be improved. I loved that the museum allowed us to keep warm and have clean restrooms before the event.
Mike Weaver from Bremen, Georgia (1/19/2013) "Nice course, good organization, will do again!" (about: 2013) 6-10 previous marathons \| 1 Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I did this race after reading all of the good reviews. It's a (mostly) flat course with the best air show along the flight line that you will ever see. I told one pretty volunteer 'I can't decide whether to look at you or the planes.' :-) I ran my best time in years and wasn't even feeling that well when I started. This one and Albany are two of Georgia's best. Highly recommended!
M. D. from Georgia USA (1/17/2012) "An outstanding small race." (about: 2012) 11-50 previous marathons \| 6+ Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 I completed the half for the sixth consecutive year. This is one of my favorite races and agree with all the excellent reviews.
