JRW, why the hating? For its second year, this is a great event. If you're going to hate on this race, I challenge you strap on the shoes and beat this Neil Rao guy next year. Also, I just Googled Neil Rao and he just graduated from Harvard Law. Match that Haters! He is sure faster and smarter than I. Long Live the Ann Arbor Marathon.

I think its a shame that there was no mention of the people who completed the marathon by completion.g the 1.2. We did 1 mile everyday for 25 days then.we completed the 1.2 on Sunday. I am an 86 year old wounded Vet a.d did the. 1.2 as a member of TEAMRWB but there was no mention of us WHY ARE SENIORS SNOBED?

The times were respectable considering that it was a very tough marathon course. There were major hills and lots of cul-de-sacs that resulted in runners going in both directions on legs of the course. That usually is a formula for mix-ups.

Nice event overall, especially in only second year. I think the race would have much better success if it were held in early May. That way it isn't so close to the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run. Another change to consider is having the porta Johns closer to the start line. Last minor thing, it might be better to only play songs without explicit lyrics. There was at least one time when that occurred. Again, though, very nice event!

What explicit music did they play?? I didn't hear that!

Our resident know-nothing has never heard of the word 'motivation'.

Why have music at all? It's a race, not a concert.

Criticism for the sake of criticism seems to be a theme for annarbor.com commentators. How many of you actual go try to accomplish something instead of just criticizing and counting your reply's and how people vote?

I agree! I had a great race, and really enjoyed it! Kudos to the volunteers that made the event so much fun!

I couldn't agree more. For me it's been a lifetime goal to do a marathon and this was my first. I finished over an hour faster than expected and it was the rush of a lifetime. Kudos to the organizers and all the volunteers for putting on an event more than worthy for the cause of fitness. I'll never forget it.

Although only in it's second year, marathon itself had a low turn out. The half drew better. The combined three race program drew less than 2000 entries. This tells me the future of his race is in doubt. If the CFC folks want insure success, they had better cough up some decent prize money for one. Two, get a feature elite runner to compete. Three, totally revamp the course that will have less traffic control. Four, stay away from June and the hottest summer months. They were lucky with cooler temperatures this year.

I found it odd that they scheduled it one week after the Dexter-Ann Arbor half marathon, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. Could this have affected registration numbers? There could be considerable overlap in terms of the people who would be interested in running both races.

Let's see a financial accounting for this race, which had low turnout. How much $$ was made by the for-profit company running it? How much $$ was donated to charities and which ones, specifically, received funds?

You guys like saying "cough up" a lot don't you? Of course they pay money for the use of our streets. They also have to pay for all the cops, and emts, and water, everything that is there to support runners. AND they help charities raise money, most races don't do that, and they make a lot more profit than this company does.

It matters because they are using OUR streets. If it's a for-profit thing then they need to cough up some money to offset the inconvenience.

Why do you want to know and why does it matter? What specifically is wrong with a for-profit company? I, for one, am glad to see companies and organizations making money these days.
