This race is hands down one of the most scenic races you may ever experience in your lifetime. The race director is very approachable in regards to questions pertaining to the race, and I have seen him out on the course cheering us on in past years. The volunteers are fantastic and help keep the race weekend running smoothly from everything pertaining to the expo, bus pickup, and the race itself. The views along the course are breathtaking and harder to appreciate when driving past in the car. It’s not often that Highway 1 will get shut down for runners to use. From the sounds of the Taiko drummers as you make the ascent up Hurricane point, to the soothing notes of Michael Martinez as he plays on the baby grand as you approach the infamous Bixby Bridge, and to some of the most delicious strawberries you will ever eat at mile 23.5, there are many miles of memories to be made on this spectacular course. Although the hills may seem relentless in the second half of this course and especially in the Carmel Highlands region, the pain is definitely worth it. I hope to return to run this marathon again the next chance I get.
