    Emily Holub · 2016

    Holub found the small race laid-back and inexpensive, but sparse spectators and lonely stretches made the course less appealing. Some neighborhood hills surprised her, and a strong late headwind added difficulty. Family encouragement and reaching her time goal made the finish rewarding.

    Source context and limitations

    A 2016 full-marathon account. Personal difficulties and a time goal strongly shaped Holub's appraisal, which she acknowledges. The current race is in October; the historical spring weather, route and operations are not assumed unchanged. No gifted entry is stated.
