\"\"<\/a>When I found out that there was an actual race expo attached to the Columbus Marathon, I become very excited!\u00a0 To me this proved that this race was a biggie and I had such great expectations heading into the expo.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, all previous races that I have raced, the race packets have been nothing worth noting. They came with the bib, course map if you’re lucky, and maybe a coupon to someplace.\u00a0 Typically it just contained ads though.<\/p>\n

My success rate with race shirts is not stellar.\u00a0 One I didn’t get because they didn’t have my size.\u00a0 They said they would mail it out to me but once I saw how ugly it was (for real, it was the color of dirty dish water), I kindly passed.<\/p>\n

Most of them are men’s sizes (because we know women don’t run races right?) so they don’t fit me anyway.\u00a0 I give those to Scott.<\/p>\n

I finally got one that was a nice blue color but wearing it for anything longer than a short run isn’t a good idea.\u00a0 But still, a race shirt for me! YaY!<\/p>\n

All that to say, since this race had it’s very own expo I assumed a lot of things about the situation.<\/p>\n
