An iconic race, I was thrilled to receive a bib and run my hometown race! One day, I hope to BQ and run it again. The crowds, energy, organization and vibe could not be beat. The course was HARD but so worth it.

This was my first ever marathon and I thought it was a great way to kick off my marathon running phase! It was an approachable first marathon, well organized and very pace inclusive. It started early and finished early compared to other world major marathons. I would absolutely do this race again.
