This Race is part of triple crown also call Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon and the course goes through Carlsbad Village and along the oceanfront Pacific Coast Highway such a beautiful scenery.
I have run this race 3 times Cant complain its a challenging and fun race.
my time has been:
1/17/2016 Carlsbad Half Marathon 1:56:37 13.24 mi
1/15/2017 Carlsbad Half Marathon 1:55:01 13.24 mi
1/14/2018 Carlsbad Half Marathon 1:57:42 13.19 mi
I love this race its one of my favorites because every penny is worth it, they give a good quality sweater and a shirt.
regarding the parking lot its plenty, since is inside the mall theres is plenty of parking around and few restaurants ts alway fun to finish the race and get brunch around there with my running group with out driving.
