Course Description (UPDATED 10/31)
First thing to mention, over 80% of the course has a view of the ocean and it is darn nice to look at. Second, it is a FLAT course. We do not mean flat like someone from Colorado means flat, we mean sea level flat - a pancake has more elevation.
We start on the south end of Pier Village where Ocean Ave crosses Melrose Terrace (in front of Turning Point) and head SOUTH along the boardwalk. At all times stay to the left.
Turn around 1: At Brown Rd we will take a right, and immediately turn right onto Bonforte. At Howland Ave we take a right. When the road ends we take a left and head north on Ocean Ave (remember to stay left). We continue NORTH, pass through Pier Village on the boardwalk and continue to the north end of the boardwalk at Seaview Manor.
Turn around 2: At the end of the promenade you will turn to your right and head back SOUTH. We pass through Pier Village a second time (staying to the left) and continue heading south.
Turn around 3: Take a right at South Bath Ave, another right onto Ocean BLVD, and a right onto North Bath. At Ocean Ave you take a left and continue to the finish line (staying to your left to avoid any oncoming runners)
Why all the turning around? Simply to make a 4 mile boardwalk into a 5 mile run!
We will have 2 water stops on the course. You will pass each one 2 times.
