Organized by Pacific Coast Trails Runs I did this event with a couple of my Tough Mudder Team mates. The intent was to take a slow and steady 10min mile pace, well that didn't happen. First real Run since I jacked my Knee up last August and it felt good to be back! I even beat the course record.. wooohoo!!
+ Easy sign up.
+ Beautiful course. Lot's of inclines = Love. Also lot's of declines = Boo.
+ Multiple distances to choose from: 10k, 21k, 30k, 50k.
+ Not only medals for all finishers but special medals for top 3 Males and Females as well as Ribbons for top 3 Males and Females in each age group. Bonus ''prize'' for anybody who beat the course directors time.
+ Great selection of post race refreshments - 3 types of Fruit, Waffles, Egg Burrito's, Cliff Bars and around a dozen different chocolate, cookies and trail mix snacks along with Beer and power drinks.
+ Good quality T-Shirts for those that choose to get one.
- Slightly disorganized in terms of the start of the course not being clear.
- 10k turned out to be 9k.
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each age group was not announced, you had to find out for yourself and request your ribbon. It took a friend to remind me to go claim mine otherwise I would have left without it.
I had a great time Running this event, definitely one of the better events I have done and one I look forward to doing again. read more
