Great event! My second half marathon, first in California and what a view! Several miles were completed along the coast line. Mostly a flat course with a few rolling hills. I was told to train for hills, but I don't think it's necessary. The race was ran like clockwork. Start time was prompt, packet pick up easy with a variety of vendors, plenty of hydration stations, and the crowd and energy were amazing throughout the whole race! It seems like the entire town gets into the event. The race swag was exceptional as well, long sleeved shirt and and quarter zipped long sleeved shirt

This was my first half marathon of the year, and was legit dumpling bae's first half marathon ever! This race starts a bit east of the freeway, then heads west and down the coast and wasn't particularly hilly either. Despite our minimal training, we finished the course strong because there were many water stations and the sun came out during the second half of the race. This race was easier than anticipated because the course was pretty straight forward (lol) compared to the La Jolla half or the AFC half for the triple crown series. The finish line festival wasn't particularly big

The first of the San Diego Triple Crown Series! The Carlsbad half is always a great way to start off the year. If you've never run a half before, I'd definitely recommend starting with this one. The course is fairly flat with no difficult inclines to conquer compared with the other two races of the series (La Jolla and Downtown). They did a new challenge this year called the Double Down, where you run the 5K and the half the same morning for a total of 16.2 miles. If you're looking for more or less, there are options for the full marathon or the 5K run. (So cal 3x5 is similar

This review is for the 2019 full marathon. This was my first full marathon. Organization - this race runs like a well oiled machine. Every logistical aspect was perfect. Course - my guess is that all but 3-4 miles of the race you'll have a great view of the Pacific Ocean. I really love running by the beach, so this was a great race for me. The course is not flat - so during training make sure you are doing some hills. That being said, the course is more rollers vs. flat out 2k elevation incline. Road conditions are very good - very few spots where the road isn't level, little

I might give it 3-stars because it's always not cool when you pay so much money for a half then unexpectedly, the 5k'ers get an earlier start. I didn't start until 8am and it was expected to be a pretty hot day. I believe they changed it up for the 2018 race... it definitely needs to go back to the way it originally was for next year! The course was beautiful though and there was a ton of entertainment along the way. Bands on top of bands on top of bands! Plenty of spectators too and it was just such a festive race. Swag bag included a technical long sleeve and sweater and the finishers

I just finished the triple crown series of this year, and looking back.. this is by far my favorite course! Keep in mind this is my 5th 1/2, I'm a slow and steady type of runner (12-13 min miles), and this is my second time doing this course. This race is in January and the weather is perfect for running! My friend picked up my packet so I cant comment on the expo. The start was at the mall/shopping area, and there were plenty of bathrooms (stores and porta-potties). They had different waves of corrals which is so helpful! The course is nice and flat, it does lead to a gradual hill but
