 "Thank you! Great event and great fan support." (about: 2004)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Toronto Waterfront Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I was expecting a typical Canadian race: well organized but little fan support. Toronto should be proud that not only was this event exceptionally organized (communication, great website, traffic, everything), but the support from the neighborhoods and fans was great. The fact that you had people around you at all times was a really great feeling. Thanks to the organizers and to the fans - your support was appreciated. I surpassed my goal! | |

"I will do this again next year!" (about: 2004)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Toronto Waterfront Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This was my first marathon. I started with the early birds - what an awesome experience. The event was well organized and everyone was super friendly. The only improvement I can suggest is more bands or music along the course, especially after the 25 km mark. I can't wait to start training for next year; see you then! | |

 "Finish line was very crowded and disorganized" (about: 2004)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Toronto Waterfront Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 4 I personally feel there is NO excuse for not having enough finishing medals for the half marathon. I personally received a medal but I know that others did not. Organizers know exactly how many runners are registered therefore there is no reason for someone to cross the finish line and only receive a card congratulating them and saying their medal will be sent to them. | |

 "cool feeling" (about: 2004)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Toronto Waterfront Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 3 I had a great run at the Waterfront Marathon and was very happy with my time. I have to give you guys a LOW star on 'organization' for 2 BIG reasons. The first one is that after the finish line was crossed, it was disorganized and way too crowded to remove the chip and to receive the medal. You have lots of room on the road... use it to your advantage and have a better flow in the future. It is hard for the runner to simply stop in a crowded area after a long run. The second reason is actually UNACCEPTABLE and I would give a -1 star for your actions. My girlfriend finished her half marathon at 2:25:31 and she was told there were NO MORE medals to give and she simply got a card for her efforts. She was totally devasted and I am ashamed to read and see that Fauja Singh came in NOT SECONDS BUT 0:04:31 AFTER my girlfriend, and still got to have a medal around his neck (his time is 2:30:02). Great for him to have a world record but my girlfriend was just as special in my mind in doing her very first Waterfront Half Marathon. | |
