Course and race services
All courses are out-and-back routes run largely on the beach path, which is an open course shared with the public. Runners should keep to the right side of the beach path; the left side is for cyclists. Course layouts combine the 5K and 5-mile loops for longer distances: the 10K is two 5K laps, the 10 Miler is two 5-mile laps, and the Half Marathon runs the 5-mile loop twice plus the 5K loop once.
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. First aid kits are available at each station and crew members have received CPR training. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags. Overall first-place male and female in each distance receive 1st place medals. Results and photos are sent by email after the race; race photos are free.
