"This was my first half marathon so I don't have much to compare it too. I have run many 5k and 10ks in the past. Overall, this was a great experience and lots of fun!

Pre-Race: easy to register, frequent email updates with race details, training runs if in local area

The race takes place in a nice bay - fair visibility and some jellyfish, but obviously can't control the jellyfish. The bike is the flattest ride I've ever encountered. There is no shade, I mean NONE. Some wind on the course, but overall fairly decent. Well marked,

Great event! I would run this again for sure - only negative would be the water stations from about 15 on were sparse. Especially across the bridge and after we really needed more water as the heat increased rapidly.
