This first mile of the race is the most steep going downhill as there is a 130 foot drop in elevation. For this first mile or so runners have to find their pace and try to break out of the pack.

Spectator Tips

Although this is an exciting place to see where everything starts, it is an overly crowded place for the spectator. Best to see the race a little further down.
