Comments on the Expo from our Runners:
"I would just like to thank everyone associated with the SD Marathon for an absolutely fantastic experience! From answering all of my silly pre-race questions to a great expo, to a wonderful first marathon experience, everyone and everything was awesome." Joe, San Diego
"I thought the 1/2 marathon was really great. It was the second one that I have run. I thought it was very well organized. I enjoyed going to the expo and I really liked the participation of the community. Great job!" Joanne, Los Angeles
"The organization at the expo was great. I was able to get packets without a problem. There was an abundance of information and products to help me get even more excited about race day!" Todd
"Your registration, expo, and related activities were excellent. I don't think a marathoner could ask for a more organized and well executed race." Ron, West Virginia
"This is my third year running the race (half marathon) and second year helping out prior to the race and I must tell you that this is the best, friendliest, most well-organized race in which I've been involved. The Expo is one of the best I've been to." Sheldon, San Diego
