7:00 am Start for Half Marathon; 7:30 am Start for 5k

Reminders:
  • As this is a USATF certified course there are no dogs or baby strollers/joggers allowed on course

5K 
The 5K will feature the same trip through the blimp hangar as the half marathon but just after passing mile 2 the 5K participants will make the turn for home. The entire 5K course is nearly flat and will offer ample opportunity to post a personal record and a memory of your trip back in time. There is a water station that you will hit twice at about miles 1.5 and 2.5. There will be water and electrolyte at the finish line.


Half Marathon
The Half Marathon will start at the District Shopping Center at the Tustin Legacy in the shadows of the blimp hangar.  Participants will find themselves inside the largest freestanding wooden structure in the world within the first mile of the course. It's a rare opportunity to see the inside the hangar; it's a step back in history. After leaving the hangar, participants will travel up Tustin Ranch Road to the Auto Center, the Market Place and then a trip through old Town Tustin.  The course will be filled with spectators as it passes local shopping and residential areas. 

There will fluid stations about every 1.5 miles along the course and there will be Vitalyte at fluid stations at miles: 6.3, 7.8, 8.4, 10.4 and at the finish line. It will be warming up through the morning and sunny so make sure you stay well hydrated during the race.
The entire course only has 550 feet of elevation and the last 6 miles are generally downhill making this a perfect race to get your own personal record.
