“Plenty of aid stations and very nice people”
This was my first marathon!!! The entire race was well organized, plenty of aide stations and very nice people. I hope to run again there next year.

“Amazing course for first timers”
Amazing course! Especially for first timers. We ran the half marathon. Plenty of aid stations throughout the course, with water, Powerade, fruit and first aid at all of them. Great finish line! And first timers receive a framed certificate of their accomplishment at the finish! Just enough of a rolling course to keep you moving but not too hilly.

“A fun, friendly environment”
It was well mapped out. My husband enjoyed running the half marathon and I was able to have someone push me pretty easily in a wheelchair. I had my dog on a leash and it was a very friendly, fun environment!

“A great challenge and beautiful course”
This was a great challenge and a beautiful course! A bit crisp to start, but perfect running weather! Had a blast and hope to come back sometime!
Ronnie S.
“Excellent race”
Great area to run in. Excellent race for both experienced and first time marathoners!
Eric B.
“A must do race”
An amazingly well run, well organized event. They make it more than “just a race” with the civil war enactments. What other race is started by shooting off a canon. This is a must do for serious and novice runners and everyone in between.

“Look forward to this each year”
The event is one that I look forward to each year with ties to honoring Veterans Day. The course is peaceful and is one that serves as a great first-time race for anyone. Plus - they have a cannon!
