Course notes: the routes use a combination of a 5k loop and a 5-mile loop; the 5K is one lap, the 10K is two laps of the 5k route, the 10-mile is two laps of the 5-mile route, and the half marathon combines two laps of the 5-mile route plus one lap of the 5k route. The course runs entirely on the beach path, the course is not closed, and participants must stay on the right side of the pedestrian path.
