Millbrook Marathon

"I have run a few marathons and many half marathons, some of which were in NY City. I know everyone loves the energy down there, but I always felt so alone in those large races. I ran Millbrook in 2021 and 2022; I loved the energy of the spectators, the camaraderie of the runners, and the spectacular views. Often spectators and volunteers were driving passed to get to a later spot shouting and cheering as they passed. The cheering, especially by name, the cowbell (Mel), dancing (Genie) and dinosaurs (I think Jennifer R.) just added to the experience. It’s a tough marathon, but the scenery helps the time and discomfort pass easily."
