Flat race. View of the ocean the majority is the race. Great support on the course. Race is a mental challenge. Mile 16 you are almost back to the start/finish line but take a right hand turn onto the bike path for final 10 miles. Mile markers are often off between 19 – 21. I run it annually and love the ease of getting in and out of the area as well.

I have run this race 7 times. Great organization, easy start. The “inland portion is nice and runs through a park. All aid stations well stocked. Be prepared for the mental challenge of being almost back to the finish line and then having to head to bike path for 9 more miles. The view is great but it’s the same most of the course. Medals are always great as are the shirts.

Organization is great. Aid stations stocked.

This is a local race that is designed for a 1/2 marathon. The first 1/2 is mostly downhill except for climb around mile 11. Great views. One you pass the 1/2 marathon turn, not much in terms of scenery for marathoners. Weather usually cool and allows for fast times.
