Event Overview
The Surf City Run is an annual sports event held on July 4 in Huntington Beach, California. The race follows a route along Main Street and the Pacific Coast Highway, utilizing the same path as the local holiday parade. Participants pass the Huntington Beach Pier and the Pacific Ocean coastline before turning back toward the finish line located at Worthy Park.
The course is characterized by its seaside views and includes a section with a gentle slope during the return trip. Registration includes a participant shirt while supplies last. For those who need to collect their materials early, a packet pick-up is organized on July 3 at a local sports store in Fountain Valley, with additional pick-up options available on the morning of the event.
Distances
The event offers several categories and distances:
- Resident 5 km
- Open 5 km
- Stroller 5 km
- 1 Mile Kids Fun Run (restricted to participants aged 1-12)
The different 5 km heats are categorized by residency or specific requirements, such as running with a stroller, while the Kids Fun Run provides a shorter distance for younger participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
