I don’t know what the previous person was talking about. It sounds like he’s describing a different race. I have done this one multiple times & it’s a blast. It is run RIGHT ALONG THE BEACH at Huntington Beach. For the half there are two loops. The medal is always gorgeous! The shirt is OK. There is live music, everything is very celebratory, there is a corner where there are cute photo ops, & there is a great pancake breakfast. A lot of the revenue goes to great charities. There is one hill but the rest is pancake flat.
The Best Part was the Street Tacos!

If you’re looking for a New Year’s Eve run, and you live in the Orange County area, this race may do the trick–but don’t have many expectations. It’s a pretty shoestring set of amenities (water, etc) and if you’re running the half, it is 2 out and backs along a pretty bland multi-use path. While it is close to the beach, views are not very memorable. Fortunately the weather was cool and cloudy, otherwise it would have been a brutal, fully uncovered run in the direct sun. The post-race street tacos were the BEST–nothing better to end a run with.
