When people ask me what the biggest attraction there is for me to do a race (bling, series, crowd, etc.) for me, it’s hands-down all about the course. Running on PCH off the bluffs in Malibu where the Pacific is bluer than you thought existed? Um, HELLO yes please!
I loved this race. Usually I’m not a fan of a point to point course (which it was) but in retrospect, I liked the fact that the half marathoners got a 1.5 hour start after the marathoners and got to join them on the course – that was very cool!
The course elevation was a little different than expected (a lot of rolling hills and not as flat) so I wasn’t as best prepared mentally when running.
The organization had some kinks in it but this was an inaugural race so hopefully by next year they’ll iron those out. I CAN NOT WAIT to do this race again next year!
