You can tell this race is still in it’s beginning years with a few things to get worked out.
Pros: beautiful location with ample parking.
Cons: cheap medals… think middle school participation medals. Shirts & medals all said half marathon only- makes you feel like an imposter if you did a shorter distance. Zero food post race, which at a 10k distance not bad but again there was a half marathon occurring and not even a banana at the end for those racers.
*found out through social media they not only ran out of medals but also water.
I’d maybe try again in a few years if I hear about improvement but for the price I’m skipping this race until then. I hope they can make the changes as they’ve got a great spot.

This race deserves a ZERO!

If I could give this event a ZERO I would! 3 porto potties at the START/FINISH line, zero porto potties on the course. People were peeing behind buildings. No food or drink at the finish line. The medal and shirt were cheap, bare minimum. Never again will I do this race. I should have signed up for another.
Don't waste your time or money
PROS: pretty course and no long porto lines. CONS: It was empty. The course is loops. Very odd. I should have checked the course more before signing up. We drove … MORE
PROS: pretty course and no long porto lines. CONS: It was empty. The course is loops. Very odd. I should have checked the course more before signing up. We drove a long way thinking it was going to be full of people, spectators and fun. The race medal is really cheap for what we paid. The finish line was a ghost town. My friends are bummed we chose this race over the San Diego one. I hate to be so negative, but we were truly expecting an entirely different race atmosphere and I guess we didn’t realize this half would be so tiny. At least I finished tho.
