Pro tips
- 01
Three Loops, Three Crossings
The full marathon is a 3 loop course on the beachfront, so you'll pass the start area twice. Use those crossings to restock and reset rather than banking time on loop one.

Two Start Times
The full marathon starts at 7:00 am and the half at 7:15 from Solimar Beach. Half runners share the opening oceanfront miles with the marathon field, so seed yourself realistically.

Early Start Rules
If you need more than the 7:00 hour limit, the 6 am early start requires advance notice so your bib is timed. Water stations aren't set up until 6:30 am, so carry your own for the first 30 minutes.

Flat and Certified
The course is mostly flat and USATF certified as a Boston qualifier (#CA24016TEB). With plenty of room to move and a gentle ocean breeze, it suits an even, ambitious pace.
