DoLittle Marathon runner reviews and race reports

Stories from those who ran it first.

From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.

Race reports: 1
Chris Wodke
“Having a bad race actually motivates me to keep training.”

Chris Wodke used the Doolittle half marathon to assess fitness ahead of the New York City Marathon, running repeated 3-minute intervals. Unexpected small hills left Wodke's legs sore, but the fall scenery and an age-group third-place finisher medal renewed the drive to train.
