Reports and event feedback

William Brent · 2026
Brent liked the stadium experiences, expo, plentiful drinks and accessible restrooms. He found the early crowding, poorly marked first water stops, rough road patches and post-finish stadium stairs less enjoyable, while still recommending the marathon overall.

Cam-I-Am (site byline) · 2026
The runner enjoyed downtown cheering, the baseball-park passage and stadium finish, but found the quieter trail miles mentally harder. Late hills were demanding despite a strong personal result, and the writer would return.
