Question:What's your favorite scenic (not necessarily fast, flat, etc.) half marathon
where scenic is defined as you wish you had brought a camera with
you when you ran the race???
For me they would be US half marathon in SF, La Jolla half marathon,
and Palos Verdes half marathon (with the first one being the most
scenic). I haven't run America's Finest City yet but I hear it's nice too.
And I'll bet the new Malibu marathon/half marathon will be great too.
I'm especially interested in races outside of California.
Answer:
Though its in Calif., an extremely scenic Half is the Big Sur Half which is
actually held on the Monterey Peninsula in Nov. It starts in Monterey and
most of the course is beside the Bay or the Pacific. Its first running was
last fall and many brought cameras or stated that they wished that they had.
It is also a very fast course.
Connemara (well it is outside California :-) ) has to be right up there. It's far from being a PB
course.
