Common things I heard prior to going were, "it's not a PR course" and "not many marathoners return to Red Deer". You gotta do something special when those kinds of things are being said about your course - even if it is exceptionally beautiful. :) Yeah, plus I also think that Red Deer tries hard because it’s got a reputation (rightly deserved!) for being a tough course.

One thing I've noticed is that smaller marathons tend to provide better perks in terms of unique medals and tech shirts since they don't have to mass produce on such a grand scale. Red Deer appears to follow that trend. Nice bennies.
