For Cindy Marcelli, Tracy MacLean and myself, we had never ran a lap style marathon before, let alone in Wakefield MA. This was a great set up from the Lord Wakefield hotel around Lake Quannapowitt 8 times. The 5k lap was perfect for the 24 and 12 hour ultra runners, solo and teams because they all had their support crew and family at every lap. The marathon started 2.2k away from the start line to get the distance.With Boston only 16k down the Interstate, it was a fast and flat local qualifier. The start time at 7pm on Friday night changed each lap as it got darker and actually helped if you were bored with laps, it was dark at some spots, but always runners and spectators around. We had a great time and the race was well organized.
