Definitely a race you want to experience at least once. It is a huge field and very cold and unsheltered start. The general corral areas are crowded and a bit suffocating so take advantage of early registration, submit your best recent marathon time and request placement in the up front corrals. You don’t want to get stuck in the general field.
Once the race starts and you get going and the pace picks up you leave all that behind and it’s time to enjoy. For me it was a great way to sight see up close many of the iconic LA locations. We made a weekend out of it with the family, booked a nice hotel in Santa Monica and had a terrific time.
The logistics are easy to get squared away except for the getting back to the hotel. You need to plan ahead where your going to exit the race area and call for your ride. This part was confusing for me and wasted time finding my way back.
The course itself is not very challenging. It tends generally down hill but with a couple of short steep climbs.
The last two miles you double back to reach the finish line which is a bummer for me.
I got out of there as quickly as I could.
