This is a fun, relatively flat half marathon course- running alongside the water. It's a course that's pretty easy to run on your own, without an actual "race". But then you miss out on the expo being inside the stadium, and the finish line being inside the stadium. What a great way to finish the race. The only drawback is that the half marathoners intersect with the 5K runners and it gets pretty congested in the blocks leading up to the stadium. I wouldn't go out of my way to run this race, but if you have a fall marathon on the calendar, this can be a nice addition to your training plan.
