I love running in Huntington Beach! Parking at Pacific Plaza was super easy, and everything was close by. The expo had such a fun vibe, and the course itself was flat and fast. The medal design was really modern and cool; but honestly, the beer garden at the end was my favorite part!

The views of the Pacific Ocean were incredible. Everything about the race production was smooth; each start went off on time, and even with all three races finishing together, it never felt crowded. It was just a great experience from start to finish.

Such an awesome race! So much energy and a really fun atmosphere. It was the perfect beach day, and my brother and I already signed up to do the one in February. Running down PCH with the waves crashing beside us was just unforgettable.
