I really like to run in Huntington Beach! Easy parking at Pacific Plaza, everything is close. The expo was a lot of fun. The course was flat and fast. Another star is for the medal! It’s designed to be very contemporary. And my favorite part was the beer garden!

Awesome race with a fun and vibrant atmosphere. It was a great day at the beach and my brother and I will be doing the next one. So cool to run down the PCH, listening to the waves crash.

Great views of the Pacific Ocean. The race production is outstanding–every race got off on time. There were no problems with overcrowding on the way in with all three races finishing together.
