Course Details
The half marathon course is an out-and-back route on the beach path. It uses two existing route loops: the 5m route is run twice and the 5k route is run once. The beach path is an open course, shared with pedestrians and cyclists. Runners are asked to stay on the right side of the path.
A fully stocked water station is located along the course, and the finish line has an aid station with water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit snacks. Course turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags.

All finishers receive a race medal. Awards are given to the overall first male and female in each distance. Race results and photos are sent via email the day after the event, and photos are free.
Participants can leave personal items at a gear check area at the registration tent but must provide their own bag. Race bibs must be worn on the front of the shirt for timing and photo purposes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
