    It's definitely on my bucket list, but not this year.

    I'll pass. It was my first 3 years ago. I didn't like the logistics of a marathon that size. It's a fun race, nice course, well supported, but getting in and out of there is a hassle, especially if you are in the 4+ hour range.

    I've done it a couple times. Not a bad race, too crowded for my likings.
    COS:
    Don't try to do packet pickup in a car, take the train.
    Plan on standing around for a couple hours before the race in the cold.
    Going to have to walk from the train station to a staging area then to the start line in the morning.
    PROS:
    Plenty of restrooms morning of
    Well supported
    sights are great
    only on hill

    Not sure if i'll be back stateside yet so i'm not sure if i'll be doing it or not.
