Okay, this is a local hometown race. It is extremely easy to get to this race and their are plenty of cute shops and eateries to hang out in the morning and afterwards. Unfortunately, due to construction this year, Culver City Studios was off limits and Sony hasn’t been on board since the initial year HOWEVER, a professional company managed it this year. This means a GREAT shirt, an AMAZING medal and a great little expo. The thing that makes this race so great is the PRICE and costume contest. I paid $20 to run this race. I prepaid for next year for $15! You can’t beat this race for the price!

Okay, I am going to have to rate this event a 4.8 out of a 5 scale. As a turtle (if they had a snail, I would have chosen that as my symbol instead) I always tend to be forgotten about. Whether they run out of food, water, gels or my personal favorite, taking the course apart while I am on the course I always seems to be disappointed in many “walker friendly events.” I was shocked that they had plenty of water (and cold at that!), port a potties, and gels galore on course. This was both on the way up AND back. I think I am still picking up my jaw off the floor. I was not expecting this at all from my previous race experiences and always tend to carry gels and water on my own not counting on having anything left for me. This is a hilly course however, the hills are gentle and doable. I did not plan to race this course at all and chose to take it easy as I did RnR LA the previous week and still came in well under my goal pace. I did have a few small niggles that I hope Malibu fixes for the future, mainly, that they need to better time the water stations. What I meant by that is that at a certain point, we walkers are running against the folks coming back. Because the water station is to the left of those walking uphill, all the downhill return runners ran into us as we shared a single water station to their right. It makes more sense for the water station to be in the middle of the road to split the station between the walkers and the runners. We attempted to go around when we could but it wasn’t always a very neat option. This was a small niggle that we worked out among ourselves but it caught us a bit off guard. Other than that, great views, great course support and great people. I will definitely be coming back!
