Cc's review of 2023 County Marathon.   

1 / 5 Stars

Review

Very disappointed. On such a warm day, there was no water or Gatorade after the first water station in the half, which would be very hard for the marathoners as well coming thru. People were forced to drink partially used bottles on the side of the road out of desperation. No volunteers at aid stations and the tables were empty. I carried a handheld with my electrolytes but planned on relying on the stations intermittently as well for water. My time goal was taken from me as I chose to help others that were really struggling scramble and look for half used bottles.
