My biggest struggle was the one section through a busy pedestrian/tourist traffic area. <br /><br />I'm not sure how I'd feel about one mile loops for a marathon, though. But you'll never know if you don't try?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785022492469960214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873857598053910050.post-17877323591996380862015-08-24T21:37:50.905-07:002015-08-24T21:37:50.905-07:00I'm so freaked out about falling now.

The race organizer is also hosting Ultra distances 3hr, 6hr, 12hr.<br /><br />I'm going to run a few test loops at the park to get a feel for it sometime soon, before I make the final choice.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308365395261709731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873857598053910050.post-52056334304892047052015-08-24T14:22:56.218-07:002015-08-24T14:22:56.218-07:00A $75 marathon IS a good deal!

It sounds like it might be a smaller race, so maybe it won't be an issue.<br /><br />I do like that you would have the option to have basically your own aid station and that you would be able to see your family 26 times during the race. Plus it would eliminate the fear of falling on loose gravel (I've been there too, it sucks). Heather [is probably running]https://www.blogger.com/profile/12114192701460406051noreply@blogger.com
