With my first marathon next month, I hope there will be many, and some good ones like these!

Clearly, it is the Kiawah Course Map. The only course, outside of Formula 1, with more chicanes and hairpins than the current double lap Kiawah course is the old single lap Kiawah course. I can only imagine the race directors had the cryptologist who developed the Enigma during WWII, or maybe the super chess computer Deep Blue, figure out that how to squeeze the race on such a small skinny island. Or maybe they just had that kid in the picture do lay it out with an Etch-a-Sketch? I’ve ran Kiawah and can tell you what that last sign is. Clearly, it is the Kiawah Course Map.
