Ryan really got to expand his vlogging skills in this video as it is 80% him on the course from his POV in Huntsville at the Rocket City Marathon. I spent a lot of my time doing the duck hunt and exploring the city center (a future video will showcase this). Ryan had a blast and it was the perfect Alabama runcation in the Rocket City. The course was amazing - but it is hilly as he tells in the video. His Strava showed that the course had an elevation gain of 755 feet with a max elevation of 746 feet. The course takes you through the Space and Rocket Center along with a restricted section that is normally not open to the public. You go through part of the Galaxy of Lights at the Botanical Garden as well. The shirts from this race Ryan agrees are our favorite from any race we have done. The medal is epic and links to a comic book. Ryan completed the hat trick by doing the 5K, 10K and Marathon so he got an extra hat which is really cool. There was a massage room for runners which was a great addition. The finish inside was also really nice especially for the weather. This was a nice event to spectate for as there were multiple locations to find your runner on the course in the city center area. Runners also got free pictures is not often seen for big events like this - very nice touch. Well organized and a definite win for Alabama. Race Web site - rocketcitymara...
