Race Review: 2009 Columbus Marathon


Ok, so, here is something funny about the "Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon": of all the runners I talked to during the race, no one knows what Nationwide does as a company, nor do we care... but please, keep sponsoring us and pouring money into our sport... we like to run; but enough digression... along to the review...

The positives of the Columbus Marathon far outweigh the negatives... its course certainly isn't as scenically impressive as Akron's (although Ohio State fans may disagree); however, Columbus does take advantage of everything its city has to offer (Cleveland should take note of this).

The Columbus course "continues to tour through the best parts of Columbus including Downtown, Bexley, Olde Town East, German Village, Short North, Ohio State, Upper Arlington, Victorian Village and the Arena District...and the addition of Grandview Heights" (.http://www.columbusmarathon.com/race-information/course-map). I think the major thing to descry here is that Columbus does indeed take pride in its city.

I am actually reaching to find anything bad to say about the Columbus Marathon... the whole event was amazinly organized and quite impressive. Many runners compete at Columbus with the intent to qualify for Boston because it has a flat course, butI think having a high level of organization and ample fule supplies is an equivalent factor for the majorital success at Ohio's capital.

Do I have to admit I'm a nerd during this blog or is it implied? And that's my review!
