I completed this half marathon and will write up a race report. Very cool finisher's medal.
over 3 years agoThis exclusive oceanfront course is a California dream. Start on Pacific Coast Highway and run past the famous Huntington Beach pier and wind through the legendary surfing beaches of Southern California. Retro surfbands entertain along the way and the finish line festival includes a beach side beer garden in the California sun. Finishers receive bodacious surfboard medals!
Picture this..."a start wreathed in light fog, led out by a covey of restored classic woody sedans and lifeguard vehicles," complete with surfboard storage on top! Marathon & Beyond Magazine calls it a "perfect start/finish." All races begin to the soundtrack of the Beach Boys' Surfin' USA and the cheers of local surfers from Huntington Beach's original surfing club, The Longboard Crew.
