Saint John's Santa Monica 10000 October 22, 2006

Can you say flat & fast with some fun too? This course was just recently opened by the Santa Monica City Council so everyone is going to set a PR. The start is at the beach in Ocean Park. Runners head south on Barnard Way and curve onto Main Street and head north to Colorado Ave. Runners then head west to Ocean Ave. At this point the runners turn north for some of most scenic views of Santa Monica and the beaches. The 10k goes up to San Vicente an turns around at 7th St. before a gradual descent to the finish which is just before the Santa Monica Pier (which will host the Post Event Expo and Party). Yes, the course is USATF sanctioned and certified. There will also be water/Gatorade stations at the Start, Finish and along both courses
