Course and on-course support
Courses are out-and-back on the beach path. The 5K route is used for the 5K (one lap) and 10K (two laps). The 5-mile route is used for the 10 Miler (two laps). The Half Marathon uses the 5-mile route twice plus the 5K route once. The beach path is open to the public; runners are asked to keep right for pedestrians while the left side is for cyclists. A fully stocked water station is located at Belmont Pier. The finish area has an aid station with water, Gatorade, gels, and fruit snacks. First aid kits are at each station and crew members have CPR training. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags.
Awards and results
All finishers receive a finishing medal. Overall first-place medals are awarded to the top male and female in each distance. Race results and photos are provided after the event; race photos are free. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
