Well organized, the course very well marked, had a guide at every single corner, had mile markers, at least a couple of well manned water stops (maybe 3, though barely needed in the low-30's temps!), a totally flat course except for the two Mass Pike crossovers, AND was very accurate (my Garmin had it at 3.1, though I did run every tangent - of the many curves - on it!), a camera guy getting us all I guess (but where are his photos a day later?). Plenty of Porto-Potties. A variety of food afterwards - mostly good baked stuff, bananas and energy drinks. Also helpful postrace timers who'd print out your time and place, incl any age group win.
