1st marathon so it is always special. Not a fast runner and finished near the bottom. Weather uncontrolled but pouring rain the entire race. Pros- Genuine effort in place to make it a quality event. Workers and volunteers a plenty to be there and support. Medical, trailers and portable bathrooms available. Host hotel accessible and convenient.
Cons - No organization at the mandatory parking area of Monmouth Park. Scores of people cutting in line ignoring those who waited 45 minutes to get a bus. No port-o-johns at the lcoation, wow that was a huge oversight. Bus driver on my bus got lost, we drove 45 minutes. Biggest con is when you finish, you need fuel, being a bottom finisher should not matter. Need a meal. Got the bottom of vegetable soup, that is it, one cup. Need to improve that. The course is a two loop. Marathoners who venture on are certainly out there a bit alone at times although supporters and volunteers were at every turn.
Overall a great event for volunteers, the half-marathon support is great, the location is great. Don't let a few of the things that are cons make you wanna skip this one. It is a great event. |

This is a 2 loop course that takes you along the oceanfront, through neighborhoods and commercial districts. Flat and fast, plenty of spectators and well stocked aid stations. Nice tech shirt, hat and medal. |

It was a double loop marathon which I didn't mind. This was my first so it was nice that it was flat. |
