(Un)fortunately, they were running about a 1/2 past when we expected it at 10 in the morning, so almost everyone was gone. The few remaining of us got to gorge ourselves! I took a full pie home and ate all weekend. The last race I did had pizza delivered.

Sandwiches, hot pizza, popcorn, soft pretzels, and ice cream sandwiches. During the race they hand out tons of cut up fruit too which is nice. And unusual stuff too, like pineapple, along with the typical banana and oranges. I'm pretty sure they had beer too but that's about the last thing I want after finishing a marathon. Worst race food? New York City marathon. Absolutely terrible. A bagel they should be ashamed of and an apple. I liked the apple but still, very lame. The Delaware Marathon has the best post-race food I’ve seen.

I think I've done that race about 5 times just for the chili and doughnuts! Though I'm running even after the race if ya know what I mean :wink: Also in March there's the Achilles Track Club St. Patrick's Day run in Toronto that serves beer post-race at a brewery - Steam Whistle Brewery. That's another must do race of mine :) The Chilly Half-marathon in Burlington serves up fresh hot Tim Horton’s chili after the cold early March 1/2 marathon.

The race ends in the parking lot of the brewery. :) Of course, they also gave out lunches after the race, sandwiches. But none were vegetarian. So I still went hungry.

Sometimes a bottle of red and a bottle of white. Good times indeed! Not quite food, but in France more often than not they used to give you a bottle of wine after a race.
