A great time!
This is a great way to explore the Balboa Park area! The course is fairly gentle with a single ascent. Weather is gorgeous. Excited to come back this year! MORE

I am going to be participating again this year. It is a nice race, not a lot of community support but the few people that do show up are the best.
