"Right up front I want to say that I liked this race. I really liked this race a lot. It may be because it was a well-run event, or it may be because I felt good for every mile of the course. Either way, I think this race has a bright future. I recommend it highly and I'll definitely be back another year to run it again".

"This was my first marathon, and I couldn't have been happier. Loved the course - even the hill at mile 19, just where it should be, after that I KNEW I was gonna make it. Thought staff/volunteers were very helpful.......A great mid-size marathon in a great destination - made a mini-vacation out of it - highly recommended".

"I ran the inaugural National Marathon last year, and this year I opted to run the half as a prep for Boston. All I can say is that the National Marathon & Half Marathon has a lot of promise to becoming one of the favorites to run. Washington DC should have their own Marathon/Half Marathon run, not just being the Nation's Capital, but because of all the attactions to see and run by........I would highly recommend this run to anyone, and I truly believe that anyone who enters the 2008 event will not be disappointed".
