Wanted to run a half during Christmas time, so I chose this race in Loma Linda. Production was very good, organized with lots of music and energy. The start/finish is located right by a fire station where you also get snacks and can sit at a table at race’s end. The course can be hilly at times and is run through the neighborhoods and under a bridge on a public walkway where the turnaround point is also at. Was slightly under the weather but still enjoyed the environment. The race is closed so felt very safe and privileged to be running the event. Medal and shirt were pretty cool and there was a backdrop at the end where you can take photos.
Gradual inclines, beautiful scenery

This was my first time racing here. The half marathon course was fairly challenging as the course had many hills. The course is primarily through the beautiful neighborhood streets around Loma Linda. The organization was great, and there were tons of volunteers and police officers making sure cars did not drive on the course.
There were plenty of aid stations along the way with gatorade and water.
The vibe was very positive, and all the runners were very encouraging to each other.
The included shirt was a long sleeve quick dry, I will probably give it away as it has too much holiday stuff on it to wear outside of Christmas.
The included breakfast was a costco muffin.
I will definitely do the race again next year. It is inexpensive, and a very nice course.

I enjoyed running this small town race. Its easy to find parking and easy to pick up your bib and race swag on race day. The course has some difficult hilly sections. The entire course is on a paved surface. I also enjoyed the nice long sleeve race shirts.
