I cannot recommend this race highly enough. Really. Everything about it is top notch. From the race director Scotty Mills to every volunteer, it is all top quality, and the best you could ever even hope for at an event. The course was very well marked, the aid stations were perfectly spaced out, the food choices were perfect, the race used Tailwind Nutrition which I trained with and love, and THE SWAG!! I never knew it was possible to get so much swag from a race. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not why I signed up, but it was sure a nice thing. The course itself was beautiful, but to be respected. It traversed a variety of terrain, some of it with majestic mountains, some pine forest, some deserts, some grassy fields, lakeside running, etc. You get it all at SD100! You also get to find out what you’re made of during the last two climbs… but crossing that finish line might have been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. If you have 100 mile dreams, this is the race you should make them come true at.

I only went to the finish to watch, but had a lot of fun! I know this is an incredibly difficult trail race…. and I saw a lot of people come in looking like they left it all out there! But it’s great to have such a well run local even like this. The race director and board know what they’re doing. The awards are great, and the community is quaint and sweet! I must run this next year!

I love community events like this. Monrovia is proud of it’s canyon park, and it’s clear that they are proud of their race and community, too! The course was roped off so well that it was practically impossible to veer off course, and the volunteers and course marshals were plentiful and very helpful. This event is such that anyone can participate, from speedy runners to walkers. I just love the vibe at this event, and how it brings everyone together. The age group awards from A Snail’s Pace were great!

The course really showcases all sides of LA well. What a great way to see a city! The starting area at Dodger Stadium is a tad congested. If you want to run any faster than a 12 minute mile for mile 1, I would HIGHLY suggest getting yourself seeded for a corral. But other than that, I would run this every year if I could. I love the vibe and the support. So many people come out to watch and cheer and participate, what a great way to bring a city together!
