Great race and so happy I chose this as my first marathon. Hills are no joke. Huge elevation gain/loss, so practice the hills is a must. I still couldn’t run up the last mountain though. Awesome crowds, great enthusiasm, and ran smoothly. The whole experience was perfect. Scenery is the greatest, but I’m a local. Was cool to run up the mountain, see the star, run on the Blue Ridge parkway, and back downtown. I plan to race it again in 2023!

I don’t see the distance selection above. I ran the full marathon. Some crazy people run the double!
