AC's review of 2019 Cannonball Marathon.   

2 / 5 Stars

Review

This was a hilly race. At times I was not sure of the route because of poor signage and no crowd participation. There was only the chip check at the start and finish. The half marathon is the best option.


Race Tips

Make sure you do hill work for this race.


Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

Parking was ample for the crowd size.
