There's been a long gap between my running of Cleveland Marathon this year and getting around to writing this race review. This is mostly because I don't have much more to say about the race this than I did last year, and it's not like any one reads my blogs anyway. This was the 33rd year for The Cleveland marathon and my 4th time completing it.
The course was the same as last year's, but somehow seemed even more boring and anti-climactic. I'm not sure which was worse, the stretch across Detroit and then Lake Avenue, or the miles of nothingness up Marginal Road. I somewhat enjoyed the portion near Case Western's campus, but that also marked a long portion of the course with little water. I don't plan on running this race again unless the course is changed.
Fortunately next year I'll be living within walking distance of the Akron Marathon, which I thoroughly enjoy. I must say that I'm quite disappointed by Cleveland presentation, but not horribly surprised.
