OUR RUNNERS

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 medal! It is designed very contemporary. And my favorite part was the beer garden!

Mikey

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

Lana

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