  • Comments: I think this marathon has ruined every marathon course going forward. I don't think there is a more spectacular course than Big Sur. Our 4 running all finished happy and injury free which was great. Pros: the course, lots of volunteers, very organized, coach bus to start (instead of school bus), nice long sleeved tech shirt, very different medal, food at finish line Cons: the port-o-potties at the start were a little bit of a debachle. There were a lot of people standing around and it was hard to see where the lines started or who was in line. Volunteers directing traffic here would have helped. The pros overwhelmingly outweighed the cons on this marathon. If you ever get the chance, do it!

  • Comments: Excellent, fun event with a lot of local flavor, ranging from the local middle school bands to fresh strawberries along the way. Clearly a labor of love for the organizers.
