Race Management
I run this race every year if possible and it never disappoints. So many positives here:
1) Incredible scenery
2) Small race, no crowds
3) tons of free parking
4) fantastic bling
5) pizza and fudge at the finish!
6) did I mention great scenery?
The race has a few small rolling hills, but overall flat and fast with plenty of great scenery to look at. There is also a 5k, 10k and full marathon. Great aid stations with water, gatorade, gu and even pickle juice! It is also walker friendly, with an early start for walkers.
I can't recommend this more! If you like quaint small towns with all the perks of the big races, consider this race! Make a long weekend out of it though. There are plenty of breweries, wineries and adorable shops to lure you in - oh, and the beach is a block away!
