Pro tips
- 01
Run the Flat Fast
The course is predominantly flat and well paved, built for speed and record attempts. Settle into an even effort early rather than banking time, and let the subtle hills act as natural pacing breaks.

City-to-Coast Shifts
The route transitions between historic urban streets and open beachfront paths. Expect the rhythm to change at those points, with more exposure and wind along the ocean sections, so adjust effort rather than pace.

Two Distances, One Start
The marathon and half marathon share race day, so the early kilometers through town will be crowded before fields thin. Line up according to your goal pace and stay patient through the tree-lined streets.

Variable Coastal Weather
Fall conditions on this coast shift quickly even around a 12.4°C average. Check the forecast that morning and plan for wind and possible rain off the Atlantic on the oceanfront stretches.
