first time night race event. parking was a mess, closed down main street to get into the smaller residential area, so had to loop through the downtown shops and back into the neighborhood to find parking. very warm humid day even at the start of the race. did not enjoy running through the bbq/bonfire smoke midway through the race. course was out and back along PCH, didnt really get to enjoy the views since i was focused on racing. could have used more water aid stations and lights on the course. i did not like having to weave through the 5k/10k runners. race organizers need to arrange so the slower runners stay one side of the course. enjoyed the expo; lots of free goodies. finish time 59:06
