Camarillo is pretty close to where I live (Ventura) that I had to try this race. Close proximity and a fairly cheap race was my main reason for signing up. I think I paid 49 dollars for the Half... and thought maybe I could get a PR as well.

Packet Pick-Up was easy but the swag back was kind of a let down. The shirt was about all that was in there. Oh and a bicycle style water bottle.
When I got to the race, the expo was so small I thought there wasn't an expo. Maybe three exhibitors? And they weren't really running related. They had real bathrooms, which was a plus. No long lines at a port-o-potty.
The race started and I hung with the 1:40 pacer. We were running through California farmlands which can be pretty, but I think we were in the vegetable area of Camarillo. Nothing but the smell of cilantro and cabbage. Basically, the scenery was nothing to write home about. Since it was farmland, there wasn't much spectator action unless your loved ones purposely came to cheer.
I always appreciate the aid stations and there were plenty of those. The course was pretty flat as described, so one could grab a PR on this course.
The finish had quite a few more people (I think from the 5K and 10K races) so some nice cheers to help me finish! Afterwards they offered some bananas, pretzels and orange slices. I wasn't stoked on the medal either. It was pretty small and the ribbon holding it was cheap and generic.
Overall, it was a very small race that seemed to me like a "locals only" race. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is I think you would be unhappy with the whole thing if you came from any distance to run it. I love to run and race and hate talking down about an event. But if you are looking for an exciting, great scenic, highly energetic crowd kind of a race, this is not it.
