I thoroughly enjoyed this race. It has a brutal reputation because of the 3 large hills you have to run over (2 near the start and 1 near the end) but for 7 miles in the middle of the race it is downhill or flat. The last mile is downhill as well so you can run fast to the finish. I did a PB by more than 2 minutes despite running slowly in the first 4 miles to get onto the Golden Gate Bridge. The only disappointment is that I was too busy running to stop and take a photo.
