Surf City Marathon and Half Marathon - Join the Beach Runners

Last Year’s Beach Runners Show Up In Force
The Surf City Marathon and Half Marathon in Huntington Beach is a Super Bowl Sunday tradition for the Beach Runners and others across So Cal.
If you want to meet us here are the directions and look for the people wearing Beach Runners shirts, introduce yourself and make some new friends:
1) Take 405 South to Beach Blvd Exit.
2) Take Beach Blvd (south) approximately 8 miles.
3) As you cross Atlanta Ave and Beach Blvd there will be a shopping center on the left hand side. You have two options. 1) Park in the shopping center lot or 2) proceed down to Pacific Coast Hwy and follow the signs for parking in the beach lots. Note beach lot parking is plentiful but expect significant delays getting into the lots because the the access points are very few and only allow one car is allowed to pass through the access point at a time. The shopping center lot is not an official parking place for the marathon. In fact, you will see signs warning you not to park there. I’ve never had a problem but then I’ve always been out of there before the occupants open for business. If you’re not sure of being back to your car before 11:00 AM, I would arrive early enough to get a decent beach lot parking spot.
4) We’ll meet at the intersection of Twin Dolphins and Pacific Coast Hwy. If you park in the beach lots, Twin Dolphins is to the west (just follow the crowd or walk back up Pacific Coast Hwy making sure the water is to your left). Walking distance from the beach lots depends on where you finally find a spot to park. If you park in the shopping center lot, walk about 1/2 mile to Pacific Coast Hwy, turn right and walk about another 1/4 mile to arrive at Twin Dolphins.
Thank you Beach Runners mentor Bob Hertz for supplying these tips.
