Did this race on Sunday August 17th. It was my first triathlon - sprint distance. I will do this…read morerace again, no question. Other reviewers are pretty spot on. I would add that the lake you swim in is actually very clean and filtered. Temp was 77 degrees. The run is tough though, and more than makes up for the shorter bike. I ran my worst 5k in months! :) I welcome the challenge. My only caveats with this race is that (1) the volunteers that were working the transition area at 5:15am were cluelessly sending people to the wrong transition spots, (2) the race started 20 minutes late, which meant it was that much hotter when we finished, (3) they had no volunteers on the bike course, and most specifically at the merging area coming out of transition. They also talked a lot about safety on the bike course, and some "trouble spots", but nobody on the course giving us a heads up......I chalked this up to lack of volunteers, but then when I came in to transition I saw a huge grip of them warning me about the dismount line. Well, ok ok riding in to transition can be dangerous.....but we don't need 10 dudes patrolling the dismount line ;) On that note, there were lots of police helping with traffic management. That was awesome.....and impressive. I felt super safe and had a blast running red lights ;)

This was my second half marathon and I truly loved it!…read more The parking was the easiest I've ever had at a race. Everything was very clearly marked and well organized. You had to pick up your packet at the expo the day before, which was mildly confusing and not as perfectly streamlined, but still good. I liked the feeling at the starting line. People were friendly yet cometitive. Everyone's heads were in the game but not so much so that they couldn't say hello to someone new. The National Anthem ceremony was a great patriotic moment, as a fire ladder raised a giant American flag. I wouldn't say the course was flat as flat could be. The Ventura half I did for my first 13.1 - THAT was flat! There were ups and downs that a high desert dweller like me isn't used to. Thankfully I'd been training on my dreadmill with an incline. Heck, the first mile of the race is damn near completely uphill. The grades aren't tretcherous, and the downhill parts suck more than the uphill...especially the final downhill right at the 13 mile mark. That was no fun. Finish line = really nice. A fun straightaway that when you're sprinting in attempt to shave a second or two off of your time feels like a racecar driving game. Good heavy medal. Good post-race snacks. The post-race escape was also quick and easy with no fees to pay and no traffic jams. The photos took about a week to upload and while I was impatient, they turned out to be worth the wait. Pricey, but good action shots. Will I run this one again? For sure.

The Santa Clarita Half Marathon is my favorite half marathon…read more Maybe these aren't the usual reasons someone would designate a race their favorite, but they are mine. One, easy access and parking. The race site and parking area are not too far from the 5 Freeway, and there is plenty of mall parking which is short walking distance to the expo and start line. If you've ever had to deal with confusing parking and taking a shuttle before or after a race, this is a real benefit. The expo is held at the Hyatt, which is also near the start. It's a manageable size, and the expo volunteers are very accommodating. I had to change my registration last minute from a full to a half marathon, and it was no hassle, no problem. The other great thing about the Hyatt being so close to the start is that there are clean - nay, luxurious - bathrooms to use before a race! This NEVER happens. The Hyatt is really generous, and you can just hang out there and sprawl out in the hallway. (One year it was pouring, so this added bonus was a lifesaver.) As for the race itself, it's the right size for me. I've been to super crowded races (hello, LA Marathon) to races where I was the only person on the road for a stretch (the inaugural year of the Wounded Warrior Half Marathon). This race is a nice size: plenty of people so you get that exciting race-energy, but you never feel bunched in or like you're going to trip over someone. The aid stations are good, and the people are friendly. Not much in the way of crowd support that I remember as the course didn't seem to go on too many main streets. This may be a drawback for some people, but while crowd support is nice, it's not a main criteria for me. Unless I'm just kicking it and doing the race for fun, I'm pretty focused while I'm running and tend not to notice a lot of extra stuff like that. The Santa Clarita half is a better-than-average course. Every course has non-scenic parts, so I guess it'd be the office park and freeway overpass in this case, but those were not unpleasant. Although not particularly known as a scenic course except for the paseos, I found it to be like a pretty neighborhood Sunday run. There is also a real sweet downhill from like the 8.5 mile point to the 12 mile mark (but an ugly uphill just when you think you're done!). The course is not hilly in general, so it's a good PR course. Other pluses are that it's held in November, which is generally good weather in Southern California, and great food giveaways at the finish. Good amount of photos available too. I've done this half three times, and I will do this race every year if I'm healthy!

The race starts and ends at the Iron Horse Trailhead, just steps from the iconic Lost Boys Bridge. The race is easy to get to as it's just off of the 5 freeway at the Magic Mountain Parkway exit. The 2 closest parking options for this race are the dirt shoulder on the north side of Magic Mountain Parkway or across the street at the Gateway Plaza parking lot. It's a fairly flat and fast course with some gradual climbs. The challenging part of this race will be the temperature as it get quite hot in the month of June. Thank goodness the race starts early (6:30 am), so you can finish your race just ahead of the day getting blazing hot! One of the best parts of this race will be the Ben & Jerry's ice cream that'll be waiting for you at the finish line! Other cool benefits include race morning race packet pick-up without an extra fee, free complimentary race photos, and a good selection of post race goodies!

I'd planned to run Sugar Daddy for awhile, had been drawn in by the super snazzy Sugar Daddy medals…read moreand the refreshing addition of free ice cream at the finish. Plus, besides having visited Magic Mountain, I'd never really been to Santa Clarita. A fun run there, then, would be perfect. First off, whether you're driving north or south, exit Magic Mountain Parkway and head in the opposite direction of Magic Mountain. Very soon after your exit, on your left side you'll see the Iron Horse Trailhead. From the road, you'll see the event. Parking's free, whether you park on the side of the Trailhead or across the street in the business section. Either way, it's close. So, let's get back to the Half itself. It's easy. Flat for the most part and fully paved, this race meanders and winds along the Santa Clarita River, giving runners and walkers a great view of the Valley. (By the way, strollers are welcome, and there's a relaxed, 5-hour cutoff time for the Half, so no worries if you'd like to take your time.) What's cool, too, is that the historic, 1898 railroad trestle bridge awaits your return! It's beautiful! On sight, race day packet pick up; an exciting Kids Fun Run; and a special Sugar Daddy pin for legacy runners (ones who've run at least two years in a row): there's more than enough draw to bring me back for next year's Father's Day Weekend.

Disclaimer: this review is not about the Annual AV Fair. I do not particularly like any fairs…read morebecause I feel that the food and tickets for games are over priced and the rides are sketchy. Otherwise, I don't have an opinion on the fair at all. This review is for the staff and facilities for our event at the fairgrounds. We had our wedding and reception on site and we were very pleased with the outcome. The catering was excellent, people came up to us all night telling us it was the best wedding food they had ever had at a reception. We selected two entrees- grilled chicken with Alfredo sauce and tri tip as well as mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, and a salad for sides. There are other options and other cuisines to choose from as well. The venue was gorgeous before we had even added our table settings and decor. Chandeliers and draping fabric hang from the ceiling and the golden chairs that come with your venue rental are stunning. Very little needs to be added to make it a dream. The bartenders were very professional and paid attention to when guests needed to slow down. Security was excellent and professional as well. The very little amount of drama was taken out of site and dealt with privately which made our wedding stress free and didn't interrupt the fun too much. It's very reasonably priced for all that you get out of it. And the ceremony in front of the waterfall was just picture perfect. This is a good place to consider for a wedding/ party venue.

For the kind of small, full of heart, fundraising 5K that this is, it gets 5 stars!…read more I have participated in SOAR's (Students Off And Running) MGM5K for the last two years and this is a very fun little race. It is a fundraiser for the aforementioned running club, which trains students on distance running and culminates with participating in the Los Angeles Marathon. This event has the easiest and most efficient parking and packet pick-up system ever. Parking is plentiful at the Bridgeport Maketplace (where the starting line/packet pickup/warm-up/expo is) and your car is literally a few hundred feet from the action. The packet pickup volunteers know what they are doing and before you know it you've got your shirt, bib, and swag bag. The warm-up is always enjoyable and I take away a new move each year. This last year they added a silent auction - great idea! Still bummed I didn't win that Disney movie basket. The course is a down-and-back route and is pleasant. There are lots of enthusiastic volunteers along the route, ready to "bead" you with the traditional mardi gras accessory. This race has a timed/competitive 5K, a fun run/non-competitive 5K, and a kid's Mini Madness 1K. You can also get your pooch involved as a 5K-9! If you do both the timed 5K and the fun 5K, you are awarded a Mega Madness goodie. Another improvement with the 2014 race was the finisher's medal. Thanks for the bling, guys! Chris Schauble from KTLA is very involved with SOAR, so you can expect him to be there and emcee the race. I look forward to participating in the 2015 MGM5K! :)

For those in the running community, SOAR (Student's Off And Running) is Students Run LA's well-behaved cousin. This is SOAR's biggest fundraiser with their athletes not walking 5 across or cutting you off during the race, but instead providing race support. Water tables, bead throwers and just general cheering comes from their members. The course is 99% on the Santa Clarita trail system with a mix of asphalt, concrete and gravel. Cheering support is minimal (its a 5k & 10K so no biggie) but easy parking, painless packet pickup and the Red Bull girls handing out samples made me one happy runner! You can find lots of discount codes which will bring this race under the $30 level, a rarity with today's race fees. That will get you a decent goodie bag ,tech shirt, medal and knowing you're supporting a great charitable group. See you at the start next year!

If you're okay with this -- and I am obviously not -- her horses are lovely and the ride itself was good, not great. The trail is not particularly scenic and you must dodge trees nonstop.

I participated in the Pasadena Sprint Triathlon today, and I had a blast! I hope this review helps…read moreothers considering this race-- as a first time triathlon participant, I was extremely nervous and didn't know what to expect! This triathlon is in reverse order: run/bike/swim. The run consists of one loop around the Rose Bowl (5k), bike consists of three loops around (10k), and the swim is located at the Aquatics Center (150m). Logistics: 5 stars! It is very well organized! Because the crowds aren't that large (this year was approx 750 in the triathlon itself), same day pick up is definitely doable. There are signs everywhere along the course and people directing you to transition areas. There are a couple of swim and race clinics that the event hosts ahead of time in Jan and Feb, but I wasn't able to go. Free parking at the Rose Bowl! Plenty of spectator spots at the start of the race, along the race course, and in the spectator stands at the pool. You can get body marked after you set your stuff up by one of the event staff. Course: 5 stars! The Rose Bowl has a mild incline along the west side (clockwise) and descends along the side of Brookside Clubhouse. It is well paved road as well. The run and bike were very well delineated. I recommend not listening to music during the bike as there will be people passing / you passing others so we can hear each other for safety. The course is a bit congested in the uphill portion especially during biking. For the swim, the aquatics pool is utilized 50m length wise and split into four large lanes. You jump in feet first and snake around to get 150m. It is inevitable that you get splashed in the face bother others or get lightly brushed by their feet, given the nature of the race, but I still found it easy to navigate from end to end. No one was really treading water or hanging on the wall when I was swimming. We all moved along! You and with a fast walk up the ramp out of the pool. Bathrooms/water: Three stars... public restrooms near the parks and no port a potties. Lines are LONG for the women's. One water station on the Rose Bowl course. Transition area: 4.5 stars! Get here a bit early to find a place to rack your bike. Given that it is a smaller race, it wasn't hard to find my bike during the transitions, and I still found a spot even tho all the rows were taken. I just had a bag of my belongings that I placed on the ground, but I saw that others had their towels, goggles, swim caps laid out. It was generally very safe. I appreciated how during the bike and swim transition someone was always there to tell you what to do ("helmet on! Walk your bike!"). As a first timer, that was so helpful. The fast walk/jog to the pool was about 1 min...? Depending on the person. It was a bit muddy and sandy on the grassy area leading to the pool. There is a shoe drop off area before you enter the pool, and it was easy to find my shoes afterwards. Expo: Three stars... the pre and post race expo were meh. Not a lot of swag or food. They passed out bananas and energy drinks, but that was it. I was hoping for more swag! Cost: Three stars... I bought my registration in December; with the mandatory triathlon day pass, came to be $140 ish. There is early bird pricing for $100-110 prior to the extra fees. Swag: Two stars... a plain unisex cotton T shirt. All in all, a super beginner friendly sprint triathlon. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a challenging yet fun experience!
