I like the size of the marathon and half marathon - it is small and manageable, but brings folks from all over. The event is well run - this year we had a new finish line area and it was AWESOME!
Race Tips
Practice some hills, wear sunscreen and a hat - you run uphill for a bit on the highway then run down just as the sun is coming up and it can be toasty!
