Catalina Island Marathon, 10K, 5K & Kids Run reviews
Did the event in 2019
The course is a very challenge one. The middle section from mile 11 to mile 21 are almost all the way up hill. The roads were muddy in many sections because of the rain a couple of days before. You have to get your foot wet in a few spots where steams rush across the road. There are plenty of aid stations with food and drink well loaded. The finish line is in the town of Avalon. I appreciate the traffic police attendances at major intersections.The only complain is that the start line is too far away from any restroom facilities (about half an mile)
