Run In The New Year 5K / 10K / Half Marathon
Run In The New Year is a multi-distance event held at Bolsa Chica State Beach, Lot 25, in Huntington Beach, CA. The event includes a half marathon, 10K, 5K, a Kid’s Dash, and an early starters option for the half marathon. Packets can be picked up in Lot 25 on the day of the event or at an encouraged early pick-up the day before.
The course runs on the paved, wide beach bike path through Bolsa Chica State Park. The half marathon is two laps of the 10K course, with aid stations located approximately every 1.5 miles supplying water, Gatorade, Chargel, and bananas. The course is described as flat and spectator friendly; families may use strollers at their own risk. Restroom facilities are located at each end of the parking lot.
Timing is provided by a professional chip timing company. Awards are given in age divisions, three deep, across five-year spans from youth through senior categories. Participant entry includes a custom 5K/10K t-shirt; half marathon finishers receive a special long sleeve design and a finisher medal. Additional on-site services and offerings include gear check at the Caren Ware Events booth, a Kiwanis pancake breakfast available as an add-on, specialty coffee, food booths, and a pre-race warm-up led by a local fitness group.
