Anyone doing it besides myself? This will be my third year running it. It’s a great course with tons of support. I highly suggest it if your ever looking for a good marathon with a great climate this time of year. I’m looking forward to it.
I am.
Yep. My wife and I are both running. This will be our 1st marathon. Trying to be realistic and just the take the day as it comes, but… based on our training runs up to 22 miles, my wife has a real shot at qualifying for Boston. I’m keeping that a secret (from her) though as she doesn’t like to worry about those sort of things (even though inside she is competitive as hell).
Good luck everyone!
If she’s clicking along well and gets to mile 16 to the top of Kavenaugh, its downhill and then flat as hell from 16-19, except for 2 little bumps at the end on mile 24. There’s a cut through road they use called Lookout at mile 16, which goes straight down for about 3/4ths of a mile. You can literally run a 7 minute mile by falling forward down it. Be careful on that sucker though.
I hurt the knee I bitch about on this forum constantly, running down that very road.
I need to go pick up my packet ,now that I think about it.
