Course, format and logistics
The course runs along the Coastal Trail, with portions that hug the coastline along the Pacific Ocean. The half marathon has a 3.5 hour time limit. The start/finish area is located at the Hatch Elementary School parking lot; there is no parking in that lot, but neighborhood parking is available and Shoreline Station offers parking for $25.
A virtual option allows participants to complete one or more events during the virtual period. Virtual bundles include a Trifecta (all three events) and a Double Trouble (5K and 10K); virtual results can be uploaded via the ASICS Runkeeper app, manually, or with other run-tracker apps. Virtual events must be completed by October 18, 2025; virtual registrations that require a race packet must be completed by midnight October 6, 2025 to increase the chance of receiving the packet before October 18. Professional photographs will be available from Facchino Photography after the event. Proceeds benefit Senior Coastsiders, a nonprofit serving older adults on the Coastside.
