While this race is convenient because it is close and starts at 8 am, and it is scenic because it is run along the Pacific, I really don't like the course.  It is just too narrow.  I must have lost at least 10 minutes trying to get around other runners.  Because the 10K is run on the same course as the 13.1 course, on your way back you find some really big people mosying along on the narrow course.  A good portion of the course is run on what is essentially a cow path filled with stones and ruts.  Of course this is not mentioned on the website, and so you sign your life away not knowing about this before you run the course.  This cow path is even more narrow than the rest of the course.  Some of the roads are opened up before the race is over, and on the way back you are confined to a walking path and have to dodge the people who are walking and not racing.  The support is poor.  Overall I rate this one of the lesser races in the area.  The only thing that would cause me to do it again is the great scenery and the convenience.
