Describe your race day.
This was a beautiful course with amazing staffing and volunteers! Everything was so well organized, all the email communication was very helpful. The volunteers at the later water stops with jugs of water to top off any water bottles was genius! I've stood at water stops pouring half cups of water into my water bottle too many times.
Also, the runners on this race were the friendliest I have ever run with. So many ran by and encouraged me. During the final tough miles, I never felt alone, there was always someone to chat or commiserate with! More than once I saw someone stop to stretch and always other runners would say, "Are you okay?" From first time marathoners to those who have run dozens, people were just friendly on the bus, at the start, and during the race.
