This year probably 1500+ in the marathon.  They have a marathon relay, a
half marathon, a 5K, a kids run and a Bike Tour.

Walkers and 4.5 hour runners can get a early start.  Course opened for 7
hours and

Miles 3 to 7 along the old 101 which overlooks the ocean and also miles 19
to 25 are along beach.  Course turns inland from about 8 to 16.

Well run, water at each mile along with Gatorade.  

I'm involved with the Super-Four Support Team which has stations at miles
20, 22,23,24,25 to support the slower runners.  These stations help keep
you focused or get back on track.  Some of the workers will even run with
you for a few hundred yards to get you back and focused.


Tell 'em Ozzie sent you.  

Just got back from supporting 100+ runners in the San Diego Track Club's
annual 25K run.  The runners are part of San Diego Fit and this was their
weekly long run as they get ready for San Diego.
