Perfect conditions, first class organization, and a beautiful course through scenic parkland. I met 5 MM's and had a great weekend.

THIS marathon was absolutely the BEST!!!! From the organizational aspect, to the pasta dinner, to the after race food and services, to the course support, the the volunteers, to the race director, to the race committee....there was no one who wouldnt help, cheer or make sure you were having a great time!!! DO THIS RACE!!! No detail was small enough for the race committee to tend to and EVERY detail was tended to....Having worked behind the scenes for a day, I know this for a fact!!! The course is beautiful and interesting and the few streets we were on were well supported with police presence and course marshals...Darwin pulled me through once again so I could make my flight!!! Not only did I make the flight BUT I had time to enjoy the AWESOME post-race food (on top of awesomeness goodies there were homemade cookies, folks!!!!) and socialize with so many wonderful new Canadian friends!! Mostly flat, it will make for a happy day of running!!! Any maniac reading this, make every effort to run this race!!!!

Thanks for an awesome race. I have completed several half-marathons, a full, a few relays and numerous other races, and I have never before felt the impulse to write to the the organising committee - I was really impressed. There is tremendous attention to detail, the runners are well-looked-after (loved the "Roll Aid" cyclists, the post-race spread, etc., etc.) and I especially appreciated the friendliness for slower runners, having done a few races where the aid stations were packed up before I got there because "there's only a few people left on the course." The weather and the terrific crowd support, while outside of your control, were also part of making this a standout event for me. I hope to be back sometime in the future!

The race was terrific, I totally loved it. The course was phenomenal. I had no idea that we'd spend so much time in parklands and greenbelts. The trail system in Regina is awesome and the way it was incorporated into the race was excellent. As well, your many volunteers were great, everything was so well organized and the marathon shirts are fantastic, I'm wearing mine right now. The Running Room pace bunny I ran with was exceptionally consistent, I finished exactly where I wanted and the pace set all day could not have been better. Thanks for a fantastic day in Regina!
