“I just got home to Fort Worth, Texas after running the St. Louis Half Marathon yesterday and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the race yesterday. It was my first half marathon and it was a terrific experience.  The fans and volunteers were awesome and supportive!  I ran with the pace team for the first two miles which helped me set a base to finish in 2:54:49 – beating my estimated finishing time by over 1 hour.
-Amy Townsend

“Yesterday was my first time to run a marathon and I just wanted to say thank you to all who were involved.  Yesterday was amazingly organized and I felt very encouraged and taken care of.  I had a great first-time experience and am ready to give it a try again!”
- Christine McElhaney

“Though this was my first running race, I have participated in many other organized sporting events. I have to say that this event was extremely well organized – especially given that large number of participants.  From my perspective, everything ran so smoothly – from signing up, to picking up my bib/chip to the race itself.  Amazing job!
 Congratulations to every one at Go St. Louis for putting on an A+ event!!!Thank you all (including all the volunteers) very much!”
  
”This was my second half marathon and it was an awesome experience.  Everything was so well organized, I had no problems getting my bib number, my t-shirt and goody bag, my hotel, parking, and directions to the race.  Everyone was so welcoming and full of energy.  Thank you for providing such a wonderful weekend.  It was an experience I will never forget.”
- Kelly Trigg

“It was fantastic!  Congrats to all of you!   Exceptionally well organized....very professional!”
-Clark Harris, Branson,MO

 

 “Just wanted to share my thoughts on the race.  It was a great experience!  All of the volunteers were eager to help in any manner, there were plenty of water stops, lots of encouragement and cheers along the course.  I ran the Half Marathon in 2003 when it rained the entire time- not fun.  This was by far the greatest race I have run in a long time.  Thanks for making it such a positive experience for myself and my other teammates who ran the relay with me.  Keep up the great work!  I know that my team is planning on returning next year.
Thanks to all the organizers.  What a wonderful way to showcase our amazing city and the people who live here!”
-Beth McDonald

I participated in this weekends events and have never been to such a large and organized race.  I am from Des Moines, Iowa and I came down to do the half marathon with my cousin.  It was his first race and I hoped it would be great...I couldn't believe the organization!  You had plenty of everything, all the mile markers were correct, and the shirts/hats/etc. Were AWESOME!!!!! Thank you so much for making his first race wonderful and my first big race of the year wonderful.  I hope to get others from DesMoines to join me next year!!!
- Jennifer Veak, Des Moines, IA

“I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for all of your hard work.  I attended the expo Friday, the 5k Saturday, and ran the marathon Sunday.  It was truly a great weekend of first class events.  The GO! Saint Louis Marathon will always be a priority on my race calendar as the organization is top-notch and the event seems to get bigger and better every year.  Keep up the good work and know that your efforts are greatly appreciated by many.”
