On a scale of 1-30, I give this Marathon a 30

1-Poor
2-Average

The route was from Balboa Park to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot. The course took us around the San Diego Zoo, around Mission Bay, and Sea World. It was a beautiful scenic run.

Score: 3

2) Start

The start line was not very organized. Runners had all the pre-race needs available in abundance.

The course had a combination of hills as well as flat. The hills were not steep, but there were quite a few. I personally did not expect that many.

5) Water Stops

There were many and all were well stocked. The volunteers went the extra mile for us.

The reception and entertainment at the finish line was great. It felt great to have the metal place around my neck. The runners received a towel to cool off, and a blanket to weather the change in our body temperature. Score: 3

This race had a large number of participants, and needed many volunteers. They delivered in numbers as well as service.
