First off, beautiful weather for race day of 60 degrees and overcast, I was able to beat my goal of sub 3 hours, and run with some very nice people. These were all great positives from the race.
On the flip side, there were three main pieces of San Diego RNR that I was not happy about:
1) COURSE TERRAIN: specifically the highway to hill is a bank turning highway, where runners are effective running sideways while at a 5-10% grade. Not to mention that this incline/decline is at mile 22-25. I’m unsure how I didn’t get injured.
2) RACE SETUP: Marathon runners race in tandem with the half-marathoners. There are 20k+ half marathoners and only 5k+ marathoners. These races begin at the same time and runners finish in the exact same area. Personally, I barely got across the finish line due to physically being extremely beat up and was swarmed by thousands of half-marathoners finishing at the exact same time. This was dangerous and even though I was very close to passing out I could not find much needed medical support.
Suggestion: either do these races on different days so that runners who finish the marathon can receive needed medical attention or have the races finish in separate areas (two separate streets/locations)
3) COURSE ROUTE: The back half of this marathon is completely desolate.
The first half of the race is awesome. You go through the neighborhoods of North Park, Hillcrest, Mission Valley, and the crowd is great.
On the flip side, I saw a total of a few hundred people (outside of volunteers) from miles 13 to 25. This course goes through empty areas, doesn’t have good scenery, and is just overall bland. Not happy with how uninspiring the end of this race is.
