Review
This was my 4th marathon and my first downhill marathon and I managed to Boston qualify! The downhill was not nearly as challenging as I expected, although I probably did start too fast. I love the white marathons and loved this marathon!
Race Tips
The start of the marathon is deceptively easy. The steep downhill in the beginning had me running much faster than I should have and I really struggled with the slight hill in the middle of the course. I would recommend not doing this.
The race was incredibly well organized! I just followed all the recommendations provided by Revel. This was absolutely the best organized race I've run and the scenery was so beautiful! I hope this becomes a yearly race!
