"I think it's one of the best courses in Southern California," Yang said. "Everyone should do this marathon. Everyone is pushing each other to do better. Everyone's encouraging. I love the part where you're running on the beach. You don't get that in many races. The Queen Mary is nice and at the end, the downhill finish is amazing.""I'm always trying to improve myself and my time," he said. "My goal is to set a personal best every race.
Each winner earned $1,000 for their victory. The races featured runners from 32 countries and 47 states.
