w. h. from Toledo, Ohio (5/8/2016)
"Very well run race!" (about: 2016)

4-5 previous marathons | 3 Glass City Marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I fully understand the reason for the course change this year. However entering the start corrals was a challenge. Coming from the staging area where the port-a-potty's were to the corrals was very congested. This resulted in slower runners just getting into the start area as the race was set to begin.

I enjoyed running in Toledo! The race was a smaller, well-organized run with wonderful swag! A great weekend - thanks so much!

"Flat and fast many shaded park miles" (about: 2016)

50+ previous marathons | 4-5 Glass City Marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 3


This race has truly been improved over the years, better expo, course and finish party and two shirts, but be prepared the finish party and the beer stops at 6 hours on the dot. Many miles of rails to trails and scenic parks too. The course was altered a little this year due to construction and seemed to make it even better.

GCM 2016 was my first marathon experience. From the course to the spectators to the amazing volunteers - the entire day was top notch!

"Fantastic race" (about: 2016)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Glass City Marathon
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This was an amazing race. The organization was excellent. The course was scenic and fun. The crowd support was fantastic. Overall I think Toledo put on a great event. I think this will become a fan favorite in Ontario for those looking to do an early spring race.
Toledo ... The new Boston LOL

"Really enjoyed my marathon experience" (about: 2016)

6-10 previous marathons

Everything went well. The Expo was great, the course was pretty, the support was wonderful and the food at the finish was perfect. Getting to the starting line was easy. Great job!
 

C. V. from Fort Wayne, IN (4/29/2016)
"Mostly well organized" (about: 2016)

11-50 previous marathons | 4-5 Glass City Marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 4


The change at the start seemed to cause some difficulties. The pace teams had a hard time finding the Dave's Running person before the race.
Because of the new starting line and the 5K course taking up some of Secor, the start seemed much more congested for a longer period of time. It was hard for the pace groups to really get going.
 

Ronald Ambrose from Livonia, Michigan (4/28/2016)
"A Fine Event" (about: 2016)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Glass City Marathon
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 4


A bit congested in some areas, but overall a very good experience.
 

R. P. from Sylvania, OH (4/27/2016)
"First Marathon, lots of fun" (about: 2016)

First Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This was my first marathon (second year trying). I had so much fun as I took it all in from early at the starting line to reading all the signs and taking in the wonderful scenery. Even though I hurt from not getting all my training done I am looking forward to doing this again.
