A special place in my heart

The Carlsbad Half Marathon was my first race EVER back in 2006. For those that don't know, it's a super-fast coastal/scenic out-and-back route along the 101. I was hooked on running after that event and haven't stopped since!

I just heard that half is SOLD OUT as of today. Did you sign up in time?

I hear it's a great course to set a half-marathon PR. January in San Diego is perfect for running in cool weather.

I missed out too!

Re: A special place in my heart

This is my first time running the Carlsbad Marathon. Are there any big hills towards the end?

The half marathon and full course are only on the same course for a few miles before the full splits off and heads inland. I heard there are a few rollers on Palomar Airport Rd but besides that its a generally tame full marathon course.
