Comments:

expo was decent. I walked from hotel to start. Baggage check was located very close to start, a bit disorganized at pickup. Post race food was horrible- they gave one bottle of water and you could get beer and irish stew. that's it. horrible.

the long sleeve shirt was awesome, medal was too. Not a ton of crowd support in the race, spectators were short of scattered about. There could've been more port o potties too. Really the food was horrible and the course is very boring.

Medals were beautiful shirts for Marathon were great Half Marathon not so great the expo was just wonderful both years!!2007/2008

It was All incredible!!
