The beach path is an open course shared with other users. Runners are asked to stay on the right side of the path; the left side is for cyclists. Turns on course are marked with chalk, runner turn signs, and flags.
On-course support includes a fully stocked water station at Belmont Pier and a finish line aid station with water, gatorade, gels, and fruit snacks. Each aid station has a first aid kit and all crew members have received CPR training.
Participants must wear their race bib on the front of their shirt for timing and photo tracking. A gear check is available at the registration tent; participants should bring their own bag. All finishers receive a medal; overall first place male and female in each distance receive 1st place medals. Race results and photos are emailed the day after the event and race photos are free.
Registration opens in early January and closes November 27, 2026. Fees range from $24.50 to $38.50 depending on distance. Local parking in lots is usually $2 per hour starting at 8am; street parking is free but limited. Half and 10 Mile participants may use the Passport app to pay for parking.
