Tedrick Kelly's thoughts:

This is the 2nd race of the BAM series, which includes 4 races taking place in neighboring beaches throughout the year. The race is around the smaller size (typically around 1000 runners) and offers a mile, 5k and half marathon distances. The race takes you over a large bridge into the outlet, where you rack up the first 5-6 miles before crossing back over the bridge to continue on the road way. The bridge gives you an amazing view of the beaches and ocean, if you take a moment to look during the run. Although there is limited road closures, you still will see cars coming through on the roads. The volunteers do I great job of protecting the runners and you also see the cars slow down and move over to accommodate the runners. This race provides water stops about every 1.5 miles, with a ice pop station between miles 10 and 11. Outside of going up and over the bridge twice, this race is mostly flat. Finishing the race makes it all worth it when you receive your BAM(big ass medal) These are done of the largest and coolest medals I've seen, and this year's are 3D. In addition to the medal, there is BBQ, pizza, beer and sno cones available, to help the runners recup. Coastal Race Productions does an excellent job so definitely Sunset a run.
