I ran this in January 2000. The weather was ideal. Great expo and water stations, nice view of the ocean, not many spectators. course has some tough uphills. I would run this again.

Have run this 5 times---course has changed some, but always a challenge. Good aid stations. Love the size---easy to park, always a clean start, lots of running room. Plus, good expo and shirts every time--not to mention the great San Diego weather.

I'm not a fan of this marathon. Although the course runs along the ocean for an awesome view, there are too many 'out-and-back' routes for my taste. Fan support is non-existent except for the first (and last) couple of miles. Good aid stations. It is tough to get out of the parking lot area after the race. Great expo.

I've done this Marathon twice and hope to do it again in Jan 2000. Weather has been perfect both previous times.

San Diego 2000 was my first marathon. Great course, great organization and aid stations. Not really crowded, but you'll never feel lonely. Early start for slow people like me!
