About Our Courses

Our courses are open, which means you'll be sharing the path with other runners, walkers, and beachgoers. Safety is our top priority, so please stay on the pedestrian side of the beach path. The courses are well-marked, with water stations and restrooms available along the way.

The 5K, 10K, and 15K races will follow the same out-and-back course, with each distance having its own turnaround point. The Half Marathon will feature an extended out-and-back course.
