I absolutely LOVED this race. The scenery was great, crowd support was splendid and the course was flat & fast. I PR'd on this race. Not only is the race runner-friendly, but the finisher medal is like no other. The medal is a large surfboard, and easily the largest medal in my collection. The race finishes on the boardwalk, so after you are done you can sit and enjoy the ocean while drinking your beer. I would recommend this race to EVERYONE.
