As I prepare for a 17 mile run in the rain, I thought \"next time, why not run somewhere really scenic?\"
Does anyone know whether the 17 Mile Drive in Carmel is open to pedestrians?

I think yes, based on this comment from a biker's blog:
"The road then passes through the Pacific Road Gate and enters the start of 17-Mile Drive proper. Car drivers have to pay for the privilege ... but cyclists are free and can smugly overtake the line of cars at the pay booth."
I've seen some people running it while on my bike there... cyclists and pedestrians do have a slightly modified route though.
Back in the ear;y '70s they had an annual run on the course. And the PAAU held their 30 km championship there as well.
