We had a great time in Columbus. There were probably 30-plus runners from my club here in Oakville (plus, traveling companions). We all found it to be a first-class race. Outstanding race support, great run expo, tremendous aid stations, fantastic race marshals and volunteers and a great finishers' area and meet up spot for families. The finish line was something else – awesome.

I know I will be back. Thanks for everything.
