 Course Cautions:
1. The course is open to vehicular traffic on the beach. You may use headphones, but be aware of your surroundings. There will be plenty of room for both runners and vehicles, but there won’t be much traffic at the time of the race.

2. As with running on any beach, tides will cause ripples or irregularities on the running surface. Sand is hard packed and very safe.

3. Jogging Strollers are allowed, but please be cautioned for the safety of your child: the beach surface is constantly changing with the tides and there will be dips and ruts. Be constantly aware and be prepared to slow considerably to avoid tipping the stroller or injuring your child.

Weather:

Temperature at start usually in the low 50's.

Prevailing sea breeze usually gives a headwind going toward San Luis Pass, and a tailwind on return to the finish.

Course Measurement:
The course is accurately measured by GPS.
