parking is accessible but expensive. i took a shuttle bus on this race. I checked in athe the Hilton Hotel and they offer free ride going to the race.

It was raining during the race. the race is to big and I am claustrophobic at the coral/ I hope it is bigger.

T-shirt has a really nice design for a race shirt.

Some elevations but manageable. The expectators on this event is really supportive. homeowners even have bowls of fruits on the table while watching the runners

expo is big. BIB pick up is a pain. oh my. the most congested bib pick up in my experiences. even the wavers are manual. so even if you are already in line you must go out of the line to sign the waivers (which most runners didn't know about) we are supposed to do that online. Give back my processing fee!

I did this to complete Beach Cities Challenge. I can do this again just to complete the challenge.

super hilly. If you want challenge this is the 10K for you. the firecrackers at the start is a little bit congesting but fun. free finish line photo but you are really small
expo is more of a program. not too much freebies. They give away chow mein as carb loading food at the bib pick up.
the t-shirt doesn't appeal to me. cotton,glow in the dark, and the color is not really my favorite. I like tech shirts that I can wear on my trainings.
the race is big but open to all levels.
