This is a fun race to do, but I’ll caveat that it feels more like a fun run / training run with a lot of people as opposed to a race. The corrals are not strict so you get a lot of paces, but the corrals were pretty spread out. Nice tour of the DC area!
Los Angeles Marathon (LA Marathon)
Well organized but lackluster course

Pros:
– Well organized expo at dodger stadium (with free parking)
– Great transportation from century city to start at dodger stadium – no wait for a bus and tons of buses waiting
– second half of course had more people cheering than first half
– lots of aid stations
Cons:
– course after about mile 17-18 is dull with no landmarks / scenery, especially with going under overpass and to turnaround at 21/22. You’re running against people finishing starting at mile 18ish until you turnaround.
– there’s some sneaky hills! There’s some nice downhills but prepare for mile 20 hill and one at finish
If course goes back to finishing in Santa Monica, this is a no brainer and amazing race, including for out of towners. With current course, it’s fine overall but not a top race to travel to run

I loved seeing 13.1 miles of Philadelphia – course had a few small inclines in the second half, but it wasn’t bad at all. There were great crowds of folks cheering, and there was a fun medal at the finish!
There were a few snags with COVID – long lines at the expo and to get into the race on Saturday morning – but given the circumstances, understandable.
Monterey Bay Half Marathon

Race registration was easy and great communication leading up to the race via email, social media, etc. Race kept website and social media up to date on wildfire status to indicate not expected to impact race
Expo was well organized and good location near Marriott Monterey – race hotel partner.
Race day – very well organized. Gear check was located next to the corrals such that it would have been very easy and I wish I’d done it! Pick up was a few steps from the finish line!
Elite women started 10 mins before the rest of the corrals and elite men. I could have arrived much closer to start of the race as I got there about 30+ mins before the start!
Course had mile markers every mile that were comical. A few rolling hills for someone from the flat Midwest but nothing crazy.
Course was very scenic along the water. Only downside is that I saw the first elite female at mile 5 and from probably 6.5 til turnaround a little before 8, had a steady stream of folks from faster corrals. Just the mental challenge of an out and back.

I can’t share enough good things about the marathon! I’ve done it 6 times, and I can’t wait for more!
Packet pickup is great with shuttles from downtown to McCormick Center. There are tons of vendors at the expo, and the race shirt is generally a well designed shirt by Nike. There’s also lots of additional Nike race apparel for purchase.
The start is logistically friendly and very walkable from downtown hotels (just plan to pay a good amount for the hotel room), and the finish is close to the start, so an easy walk back to your hotel.
There are great crowds along the course, and there’s never a section where you don’t have crowd support! The first half is the more scenic part of the course, but you have a great last 3 miles running back downtown with the crowds really picking up as you get closer. There’s a tiny little incline at the end, which feels sizable since it’s in the last 0.2 miles of the race!
