I think I may do this...
The running team from work is going to be there promoting Marathon by the Sea, I was wondering if anyone else was thinking about or has heard about this.

MW has run this, and so have I. Easily the best scenery for any race I've done. Well-organized, not a difficult course. Strongly recommended.

'Not a difficult course' was my biggest question. They talk about 'climbing' hills. I didn't know what they meant by that...

I. Hate. Hills. But B2B didn't have anything approaching 'climbing' (I guess that's code for rather steep). The course does have the usual rolls in it, but hills - maybe two would be classed as that, but not steep.

AWESOME!
I hate hills also!
When ever i am on my interval runs, it's funny how my run time always hits on a hill...
Saint John is just one Big Hill anyway

The only thing I'd change is to do it in the fall. I mean, the weather in summer along the ocean is nice, but give me technicolor any time (part of that Wees-con-sin breeding)!

I agree with that. The leaves are beautiful in the fall!
