Source context and limitations
Perspective: course preview outside the race; race-day execution is not established. A professional restorer’s historical appreciation of McCourtie Park’s bridge collection, selected and quoted in a 2011 cooperative magazine. The article describes her earlier visit and work on all 17 bridges; the actual year of the general appraisal is unknown. The current host says historic bridges feature in the planned race, without identifying which crossings. Registration describes an out-and-back, while the host calls it a loop, so full geometry remains unresolved. This broad collection opinion does not isolate each race crossing or establish that the race uses all 17 bridges. It says nothing about current structures, safety, conditions, markings, services or whole-marathon experience. No race attendance is claimed. Biography, other amenities and structural-condition history are excluded.
