The race was very well organized from the email updates to the finish line party, no detail was missed. The Race Expo was fantastic, tons of vendors handing out samples of fantastic samples that were pre-race friendly to eat. Parking for the expo was free and right in the parking lot next to the expo. The race course was beautiful right from the start. I was upfront and able to see everything from the beginning, as a marathoner we started earlier (1 hr 15 minutes earlier) than the half and it made for a nice start without the congestion of runners at the start. The energy from all the spectators was amazing, they were all along the course. There was plenty of water, energy drinks, food, energy bars, gels, gummies, fruit, etc. along the race, I never wondered when the next water station would be. The porta potties were plenty too, plus when you are running the marathon and running the last few miles along the beach path, there are public restrooms all along the path. The volunteers were amazing and very supportive along the course, it was fantastic to have cheer squads all along the course, not to mention the thousands of people out and cheering you on, it was amazing! My friend who was at the finish line waiting for me said she was amazed at how emotional it was as people crossed the finish line, the energy from the crowd was fantastic! It’s a beautiful course, over half of the marathon is run along the Pacific Coast Highway.
The medal is fantastic, huge and heavy and has all my runner and non-runner friends jealous 🙂 The finisher shirt is another great swag item and is beautifully designed. There is a fun Surf City reusable tote bag that you get with your race packet from the Race Expo too, that can help hold all the awesome goodies you receive from the expo.
The finish line was lined with refreshments and food, which was much needed and greatly appreciated!
The beer garden was great too, though I was too hungry to try and have a beer, so I opted for food first.
You can purchase plenty of race swag at the Race Expo that is going on Friday through Sunday, which you will want to grab a pretty 26.2 Surf City sticker for your car. I purchased the finisher jacket too and I have received nothing but wonderful compliments about it.
Overall, I will be participating in this race every year now because I had such a wonderful time this year and loved how organized and put together everything was. Run Surf City Marathon- see you in 2018!! I hope you to see you all there too!
