I really like this race. I had heard about it for years but did not run it until 2012. I just loved everything about this race. The town is a cool little place. It was hot the year I ran but it was a five star experience!
Considered one of the most beautiful races on the East coast. In addition it is one of the smallest races with running legends like Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter, Joan Benoit, Meb Keflezighi showing up. Unfortunately it is very popular and hence, very difficult to get in and is based on a lottery. If you do make it, you will completely understand why it is one of my favorite races to run.
