The only problem was it eventually ended and I did not want to get up and have to walk away. That hurt worse than sitting for a while after a marathon, LOL For some reason after that I never got one again:)<br />Those are all great perks, I love it when races offer a little extra at the finish. I especially love the ones that hand out the finisher t-shirts after you finish the race:)<br />The best perk ever was at the Rehoboth Beach Marathon in Delaware. They had this full on catered meal for all the runners, seriously anything from pizza, to mash potato's stuffing, mac and cheese, hot dogs, enchilatas etc. a huge variety to fit any runners taste. Oh and they had ice cold soda and Pepsi!!!<br />Usually I can't stand to eat after a marathon for several hours and I generally skip all post race food and wait until my stomach is ready to eat. But I couldn't resist and decided to eat anyway, it only took my tummy a few minutes to realize, yes she is going to feed me, LOL Ya I did go with the mac and cheese and potatoes and gravy stuffing combo with Pepsi, and it was great!

In the ultra community, they usually have a feast of some sort after the race. It can subs, BBQ, whatever, but it's a spread and I think that's a pretty nice treat after a long, hard race.
