Course and race services
The races use out-and-back loops along the beach path. The 5K route is used for the 5K (one lap) and 10K (two laps). The 5-mile route is used twice for the 10-Miler. The Half Marathon combines the 5-mile route twice and the 5K route once. The beach path is an open course shared with others; runners are asked to stay on the right side of the path while cyclists use the left.
On-course support includes a fully stocked water station at Belmont Pier and an aid station at the finish with water, Gatorade, gels, and fruit snacks. Each station has a first aid kit and crew members who have received CPR training. Turns are marked with chalk, runner turn signs, and flags. Gear check is available at the registration tent; participants should provide their own bag. Parking in the lot is $2 per hour and street parking is free. Half and 10-Miler participants may use the Passport app to pay for parking. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
