Race course is beautiful! Nice combination of hills and flat or downhill. Major Traffic/parking issues before the race makes it stressful for runners. Need better traffic control and/or mandatory off site parking with bus shuttles in to relieve traffic congestion before race. Other than that I love the Pasadena half and will do it again next year.
