The course hugs the coastline for much of the route, with ocean views opening up regularly as you run. The terrain follows the shore, so the surroundings do the work of keeping the miles interesting. It reads like a point-to-point tour of the waterfront rather than a loop around a park.

The Twin Lights Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:04:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:58:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 537 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:24:29 while the median finisher took 2:04:17. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
