For the first time in 20 years a portion of the 110 freeway was shut down for an event.
The race started and ended near light rail stations, so getting back and forth pre and post race was pretty easy. Located in South Pasadena, there were plenty of lodging options – especially when combined with the light rail.
Actually running on an LA freeway was a fantastic experience. We definitely were faster than rush hour traffic! We ran from Orange Grove St down to almost I-5.(26th ave)
Race shirt pickup – post race (if you couldn’t pick up the day before) was a total cluster… It took 45 minutes post race just to get the shirt.
They also ran out of medals at the end, but will be mailing medals to those who missed out.
The other side of the freeway was open to bicycles and there were walkers & fans along the course – a great time.
Hopefully this will happen again in the next 20 years.
