It’s a gorgeous course that hugs the coast for around 2/3s of the time. It’s debatably “hilly” although manageable for someone training in CA. I found the two trickiest elements to be the lack of shade for the middle portion (it was the warmest race day in 5+ years and unseasonable), and the position of the turnaround which is around the 8 mile marker. That was mentally a bit tougher than expected, given you run opposite the faster runners for quite a while before turning & can’t see the point due to curves. The course is also longer than 13.1 (of the 5 people I know who ran, we all logged 13.3+) which threw off pacing a touch, but I’d just factor that in for future runs. At a view points, there was a course marshall on a bike riding upstream through runners and I had to jump out of the way once. Post run snacks and beers are pretty good and gear check was easy. The swag is OK; just a shirt, but it’s one of the better I have received. I would do it again for sure, it’s overall well run and aided, with decent amounts of spectators and stunning views.
