The organization and racing staff were all good. People were all friendly and supportive.

The last out and back section had very hard, narrow dirt trails that were extremely uneven and treacherous to run on. I had to actively watch my footing to avoid twisting a knee or ankle and this really slowed me down on the part of the course I thought would be flatter and easier.

I wouldn't recommend just because it seems like an easy course to get injured on.

This was one of the most expensive races I've run in my quest for the 50 States. I've even paid less for last minute entry. Here are my pros and cons.

Pros: Great volunteers - good enthusiasm and willing to encourage.
Bagpipes at 18 - great touch really inspiring!
No logistical nightmares - well organized.
Scenery - coastline very nice
Cool finisher's metal
Name on bib made it easy to cheer others on

Cons: Going green meant recyclable plastic cups - very hard to drink on the run
Course was on very uneven trails used by horses - deep groves, hard to run on.
Because I had to watch my footing I could not enjoy the coastline as much as I wanted.
No expo - not that I needed it but for the money I expected more.
Because of the course route not many spectators.
Not much food at the finish - 1/2 Banana, 1/2 bagel, fiber bars.

All in all not a bad race but I'll look for another in California the next time around for the 50 Sates.
