Alex 's thoughts:

I participated in this race in 2012. Cheered my girlfriend in it in 2013. Returned to run it in 2014! Expo was at orange County fair event center which provided ample parking. Race drop off was a breeze, which was at Fashion Island, the trendy shopping center! Corrals were neatly organized for the 5:30am start for full. First 6 miles take you along the beautiful beach homes in Redondo Beach! Miles 7-9 you head inland with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean.
After the half marathon split of 12, full marathoners are taken into Costa mesa, ca. A bit dull, as we run through some industrial type areas and weave our way back inland to finish line. As usual, course support was great. Not jam packed, as say Los Angeles marathon or new York City, but people are quite energetic & encouraging. Water stations are well manned by kids with plenty of gatorade and water! Finish line is at the fair event(where expo is) and race offers a great finish line party with live bands and food! Would definitely recommend this race for a beginner or a seasoned veteran.
