Kathy and I are getting ready for the Wharf to Wharf race. This will be about our 12th in a row, less the pandemic canceled races. This year is the 51st annual race. It starts at the Santa Cruz wharf and Beach Boardwalk and courses along the coast ending 6 miles later at the Capitola wharf.

While the elite runners are competing for time and prize money, most of the rest of us are out for fun, often stopping for a bit to listen to the 50 or so bands that play along the route.

The race is limited to 16,000 participants but it's divided into corrals so while packed for the first mile or two it's reasonably open.
