This was a well-organized race with fantastic on-course support. It was really warm (72 degrees and sunny!) and I appreciated the abundant water stations, which usually isn't something I notice. The course has gorgeous views of the ocean outbound along Highway 101, and then you come back on the inner portion

Fab. First and labor last marathon. Highlight was stopping at mile 13 for a quick stretch out with one of the amazing on course massage therapists.
I was able to finish the second half faster than the first half. Loved the course, the amazing fans and the finish line! The post party

If you are tired of the hype with high prices so you get bands and beer and just want to run a challenging half marathon put on by runners, for runners, this is the race to sign up for. It is a reasonable $35 with good aid stations and post race
