It is a laid back race in Death Valley. Warm but not hot. One good note: the air is denser as the entire race is run below sea level, so you take in a lot of oxygen, which makes the run easier. I did the Half Marathon. The COURSE for the Half was basically, 6 miles on a dusty paved bike trail, and 7.1 miles on medium to large rocks road in Mustard Canyon. The course is two out-and-backs, with gentle long uphills and downhills, not much of flats. The turn arounds are stocked with water, lemonade, trail mix, pretzels. If you need Gels, bring them. If you need Gatorade or Nuum, bring it. I wore a hydration belt with two bottles. You will feel dry. SCENERY is Death Valley. Good to do the race, and then explore the park and its canyons. PRODUCTION – limited. Great race directors. They crack a lot of jokes. ‘Chip’ timing is actually a guy named Chip. Start line is just where the starter stands, and finish line is by the tent, where they record your number and time by hand. Its all good. Marathon finisher gets a rubber chicken thrown at them. The female gets the purse, yes, a purse. SWAG: you get a t-shirt, and Half and Full get a medal. Age group awards are announced at 5pm and mailed, probably a ribbon. OVERALL this is a destination race if you want to run in Death Valley, as it is quite different from any standard races. Fun overall. You also get a good discount on the room rates at the Furnace Creek Ranch.

New Smyrna Beach has been overbuilt, and didn’t plan parking lots. Arrive early, as this is the most challenging part of the race. Once settled in, the race itself is great. It starts on time with about 350 people in the 5K. It spreads out pretty quick as you run down Flager Ave. There are no Sharks, but Roosters on the course! There are many turns but nothing crazy, and a street with a sand base. Not too scenic, all small houses. First water stop is about 1.8 miles in, and they did have donuts there. Course is measured perfect. Nice big finisher medals, pint glass, t-shirt, and a Big Challenge medal. I would do the race again.
Shark Bite Half Marathon

Parking was easy. Fast and easy check-in. Nice t-shirt. Small race of 336. Nice and flat out and back. Runners on course we excited to be there and very friendly. Laid back if you wanted it too. Nice medal at finish, along with pint glass. I would recommend it.

Great downtown, especially with the Festival of Trees. Stayed at Embassy Suites, just steps from the start, finish, and Expo. I ran the 10K then the 5K back to back. Both courses were scenic and finishing through all the decorated Christmas Trees, and inside the convention center. Number pickup line was long, but moved. Expo was medium sized, but fine and helpful. HTC needs better swag for purchase, as it was very minimal. Finisher medals were fine, but small compared to other half and marathon races. Hard to find a pasta dinner within walking distance. Yes, I still would recommend this race. I enjoyed it!

A nice enjoyable race. Production was smooth. The course was hilly, but not overly difficult, lots of turns. There was a section that you ran on sea shells! Nice water and Nuun stops. I found the course scenic with some surprises. Nice t-shirt and medal.

My first International Race. Small Expo. Bus ride to start. Unclear where pot-a-potties were. Found them outside on side street next to start. Many runners thought they were inside the mall. Nice start. Long streets. A little confusing toward the end, as there was no one to direct you on the course. Finish line area was fine. A nice Medal and extra shirt. I could never find the buses to go back to the hotel, so I ended up on the train lines, which was easy, but luckily, someone showed me where to go and how to pay my fare. This would be a locals race, perhaps training run, but still fun.

Ease of registration open to everyone. Excellent race day parking at Lenox Square. Cold weather. Rode Marta to the start area. Excellent Baggage Check Buses. The race is the Peachtree Road Race in reverse, so basically uphill, especially the last 3.1 miles. Nice medal at finish. Overall, I enjoyed this inaugural event.
