In a new course was defined which ended at Sea World San Diego. In , the course was again rerouted with a new finish line at Petco Park.
Runners have seven hours in which to complete the marathon. That's when you really notice the dilapidated-ness? This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
Back to San Diego's version of Heartbreak Hill, if you're not in BQ mode or PR mode, you best slow the pace way down or even walk so you can really enjoy the 3ish mile downhill to the finish.
Regarding the other aspects, I have no complaints. The expo's got plenty of stuff and well organized. In terms of getting to the race, the last two years I've taken the trolley. It runs about every 7 minutes. From the far east stop Qualcomm Stadium , it's about 20 minutes to drop off.
I've walked the 1. I prefer this over the shuttle as I get a chance to loosen up. Not sure what the shuttle experience is like maybe next year. Race organization is solid. Plenty of water stops. And if you want to not pay extra, I would not go VIP. If you're not modest, you can pee in bushes forget the deep porta potty lines as this seems to be the main benefit of the VIP.
I thought the crowd support was also good. This isn't Boston or NYC, so you can't expect cheerleaders at every mile in response to a previous comment.
Hope this helps. Happy running! Still a mixed bag What they rocked: good expo, easy packet pick-up, awesome volunteers, on-time start, great corral management, visible mile markers, big water stops, great shirt and medal, great finisher's jacket, fast results and photos posted.
Tons of music, cheering squads, unofficial handouts on the course. Never alone out there. More or less scenic. What needs rethinking: this was a new course again. Hill and camber from was brutal. Finish line way too far from bag pick-up. Line for jacket was ridiculous. More halfers than full but easily co-existed without challenge.
The split for the half and full well-marked on the course. The expo was terrific, as is to be expected from a Rock-n-Roll event, there were plenty of vendors to talk to and lots of good information. I used the shuttle system to get to the starting line, which meant standing in a long line at 5AM but it moved fast and was way better than fighting for a parking spot. The biggest problem pre-race was way too slow of corral releases which meant that a lot of people spent over 30 minutes slowly shuffling towards the start line.
This wasn't a huge problem, but when you're fired up and ready to get going, that's a long time to shuffle around after the starting gun has been fired. The course itself could have used some more water front views but the section in Mission Bay was great. It was a big out and back but it was along the ocean so it was a great view.
I liked the neighborhoods we ran through and thought it was a good mix of houses and eclectic local shops and restaurants. Fan support in those areas was great, plenty of cheering people and you could definitely feel the support.
About the massive hill on Highway from mile 22 to 24 that everyone talks about in regards to this race. I honestly don't mind a race throwing a big challenge in the later miles, I run a lot of hills in training so I don't mind them that much.
My issue with this stretch is that running on a highway is just not a lot of fun, especially that late in the race when you're dog tired and need all the distractions you can get. Once you get over the novelty of running on a closed highway, it's a long slow climb that never seems to end with very little scenery and no fan support because you're on the highway.
All that being said, once you reach the top it's all downhill to the finish. I loved this race, love the city, and really appreciated how well run the event was from start to finish. In typical Rock-n-Roll fashion, there were plenty of opportunities to be separated from your money and the event has a very corporate feel to it at times.
But, I would highly recommend this event and hope to be able to run it again in the future. The brutal hill up the freeway at mile
