Even though I'm relatively new to the Marathon Game.. I thought this race left a lot to be desired. I've had experience with the San Diego RNR marathon, LA RNR half marathon, and the LA Marathon. I felt that this race catered more(or only to) the Half Marathoners.. while the full marathoners were left with the hardest part of the race with nothing but construction sites and sand to look at. After the 13 mile mark, the port-o-potties were few and far in between. I understand that it would have required the strip to be shut down longer to arrange it to be any different. But I feel making this a Half Only event would have made it a much better event.
all in all, I will NOT run this event again. Atleast not as a full marathon or until they change the course.
Also I received a bit of attitude from one of the volunteers at the end when I grabbed an extra bagel on my way out.
