HALF MARATHON
714-Foot Net Drop – A Potential PR!
USATF Course Cert# CA13129RS
This is a point-to-point race. Runners will be bused from the Finish area off Sorrento Valley Rd to Rancho Penasquitos either pre or post race. Race begins in Rancho Penasquitos and heads South on Carmel Mountain Rd. The only real major hill is in the beginning (mile 1.5)…piece of cake! Then all runners travel 9 miles down the 56 Bike Path enjoying spectacular views and a gentle rolling downhill course. Last 4 miles are relatively flat with gentle rollers as you head towards the finish on Carmel Valley Rd to Torrey Pines State Beach. This course could be a potential PR!
