What is the 30K course like?
Course map and description here.
The first third is fairly flat with an on ramp that has some incline to it.
The middle part of the course is along the Beach Strip so it is often very windy but lots of residents out to cheer you on.
The last third of the race has many rolling hills and of course the big one at Valley Inn Rd which will test your hill training.
