Average Rating:  
Recent Review: This was my first marathon...it was really cold, but what an experience. In the end, a young woman 22 years younger than me made sure I made it to the finish line. Autumn helped motivate me and made sure I did not stop at mile 19! The fact that all the hills are from mile 13 to mile 20 makes this course tough, but it was great. A true challenge! And what a great Charity! Thanks to Jackie and Karen too! Hard to do these things alone, and having you guys catch me at 14 was Awesome!!!!
