Sure thing, Mike! It was a great race. I was able to bring my family out there to cheer me on, which made it pretty special. Great news about the race gear. I would recommend looking into shirts and/or hats that are mesh/wicking. I know many runners who don’t pick up race gear when it’s 100% cotton simply because synthetic material is better for running. I’m one of those runners who LOVES picking up post-race gear that is mesh since I’ll head out the next day for a training run and test the gear out. Can’t really do that with a cotton sweater

Thanks for the positive comments Andy! We have worked extremely hard to improve the full marathon course from our inaugural year. The scenic value has increased triple fold and we are able to eliminate all hills in the last 2 miles of the course as well. I just posted our new course map at http://www.RunFresno.com. If you liked the amenities offered last year, we have improved on them for our second year! Our finisher’s sweatshirts are now zippered and hooded! Hope to see you again this year!
