Odense is such a wonderful town, as is this race! The course is varied in scenery, great nutrition and hydration along the way. The crowds are amazing, and the finish line is like a community festival. I was worried coming as an American with little to no Danish, but the organizers were very international friendly. I would do this marathon again in a heartbeat.
