"Terrific mid-sized race" (about: 2013)

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5

A scenic, interesting course, big net downhill with a little climb early in the first hour; mostly bike path with optional dirt trail for about 1/3 of the course. Good support, average treats at the end, and a very nice metal medal.

I just ran the Mountains to Beach Marathon as my tenth marathon with the intention of running a PR. I set a PR by 13 minutes!! It starts with a 10K loop around Ojai that includes gentle ups and downs, followed by a steady 13 miles of slight and gentle downhill, followed by a flat out and back in Ventura for the final miles. If you are looking for a PR or Boston Qualifier, this is the one for you. It is by far the fastest course I have run. It is a smaller marathon capped at 1,500 runners, and does not have as many spectators as the larger races. But it is a beautiful course. The only disappointment for me was not enough electrolyte fluid, particularly in the second half.
