course, but there will still be some congested parts.
final note for those running for the first time or those who are very nervous about their time and finishing under the 16 min/mile pace (ya know...like, let's say, someone who just had knee surgery 11 days ago maybe...). try to line up at the front of your corral if you are toward the back. every little bit of buffer time helps. the "balloon ladies" who keep the pace are the last to cross the start line. they then maintain a steady 16 min/mile pace. all you need to do is stay ahead of the balloon ladies and you're good.
so...where are you?!?!?
