My Favorite T-shirt. it doesn't look like a tech tee from a race.
Parking is very accessible, but expensive, $15.

Expo is big enough and generous.

Course is easy, a little bit of elevation (highway 1 loop) scenery is ok but looping it is kinda boring already.

The distance is perfect especially if you are already doing half marathons. If you haven't done the Surf City Half Marathon, do this first to prepare for the 13.1 version. since it is almost the same route.

Well organized, sponsors are generous.
