This was my second year participating in the BSHM on Monterey Bay. If your looking for a nice race-cation destination this would be a great one! Beautiful scenery, fair weather and well organized.

The course starts in Monterey and travels through to Pacific Grove (also known as America's Last True Hometown and Butterfly Town USA) you will run through part of the quaint downtown of Pacific Grove before you are redirected back down to the coast. Keep an eye out for seals, otters and possibly even an occasional whale can be seen on this run. After the turn around you will head back past the ocean toward Monterey. Eventually passing the famous Monterey Aquarium and historic Cannery Row.

Finish line entertainment, great food and more await you at the finish. Transportation (for those who wish to avoid parking issues) is great and busses can be caught from a few different options. Busses are well run and organized as is the whole race.
