Sudbury Rocks Marathon
(Sudbury, Ontario)
Author: kaybee
Date: 2007-05-07
Did the Sudbury Rocks full marathon yesterday. This was it's second year and it is still a relatively small event. At times it felt a bit lonely out there but I could always see someone ahead or behind.
I have to say, though, that it was a great experience. It was very well organized. Four of us went up from Ottawa to do the marathon and we were all very impressed - from the race expo/kit pick up to the pasta dinner to the race itself. The roads were a bit rough in places and you had to watch your footing but it was extremely well-marked (I have ever seen so many pilons!), well-marshalled/policed and well-manned from the water station point of view. Lots of porta-potties (although I didn't need to use one).
Many many thanks to the organizers and numerous volunteers. Everyone was so friendly. There weren't many spectators except at the half way/finish line (double loop) and the volunteers never failed to cheer you on as you went by. I would definitely do this or one of the other races at this event again!
