The course starts and finishes in front of the parking lot at Silver Beach County Park, so you are right on the waterfront from the beginning. The terrain is flat, and the surroundings give it an open, breezy feel that is hard to find at most local races.
Packets can be picked up the afternoon before at a corporate facility on Hilltop Road, which makes race morning simpler if you can get there early.
