Describe your race day.
Well organized. Good volunteers. Only one approach to parking made for long back up.
Course was beautiful until mile 17.5. From there on the course was very disappointing. The route and the traffic was horrid. It seems you could have gone through neighborhoods or something more scenic and less traffic. The fumes from the cars was difficult.
Iced water and towels at the finish were fabulous. Food was very lacking. I understand there were more options but they were gone after the half marathoners finished. Chips, bananas, otter pops and water just wasn't enough.

What advice would you give future runners?
Put food in your drop bag for after.
Won't do it again. Would recommend but make sure they understand last 8 miles.
