Finally beginning to show some progress in healing, yet still unable to run…. A runner friend agreed to review Pacific Crest’s race this year.

Pacific Crest is a wonderful weekend full food, music, shopping and excitement. Then if you have energy left there are plenty of athletic events to choose from. This year I chose the one most familiar to me, the marathon.

The weather always seems to be clear and warm. The marathon is a double loop all run on blacktop trails. About 20 minutes before the start, everyone meets in the village area and there is a short walk to the start. The scenery for the entire loop is rewarding. There are homes, condos, lakes and wildlife to watch. The end of the first loop brings you back through the edge of the village and gives you a good opportunity to wonder why you didn’t just settle for the half.

AA Sports does a great job with all of their races and Pacific Crest is no different. It would be a great event to put on your calendar.
