This is my favorite beach city race, I don't remember passing the same scenery. You will run at the park, bridge, ocean, queen mary, road.. not a boring loop like surf city. there is a little bit of elevation going up the freeway
T shirts is ok, simple and perfect sizing.
Bib pick up is at the convention center so be ready to pay the "convention center rate" parking. race day parking is ok. we parked at the building structure a mile away from the start.
Race day expo is ok. not free race day photo. medal is cool too
