***Diana Prince*** re: Marathon

Some comments from my finisher pals:

1. For me i think i would choose Grand Rapids, its a little more expensive but much better support as well as perks. Spring lake they have you run on the bike trails that are quick up and downs (hard on the legs) and the food at the finish is not that great

2. i would not recommend the Oktoberfest. You run on a bike trail most of the way ... very few runners without a lot of crowd support. The finish line food is not that great either... I would actually tell her to run the Grand Rapids Marathon... it is kind of expensive but they put on a good event.

3. LOL, ask Levi about this one! Just today he was saying again how he'd never run that marathon again.

HTH! 

Re: ***Diana Prince*** re: Marathon

  • And one more, from the person mentioned in 3. above:

    "I disliked that Marathon more than all the others combined (I enjoyed the others). The course was nice to start, but very hilly and very minimal support and race fuel throughout the race. The first goo was at mile 18.5 and the next at mile 21... I drove by the course today, and said, "I'm glad that I will Never do that race again"....."

  • Thanks, very informative. I don't want to do GR this year just because of the bigger overlap into the school year. Perhaps this isn't the best year for me to do a full. I'm glad I asked, though. It sounds like that race is just not well organized or supported. Thanks again for asking your group!

    No problem. :) I hope you find a race that suits you and your schedule when it's time!
