PARKING AND SHUTTLE OPTIONS 

Attention Athletes we have a new course for this year with a new expo venue and finish location at Silver Strand State Beach. As the route and finish have changed there are new parking and shuttle options. Please note for this event. 

ALL 5K participants park at the Silver Strand State Beach

NO Half Marathon, 10-mile and 12K athletes park at the Silver Strand State Beach.

Again, there will be NO busses at Silver Strand State Beach to bring you to the start.

All Half Marathon, 10 Mile & 12K have three parking and shuttle choices. Each location has limited availability so all athletes must select a FREE shuttle pass option. Although they are free, there are still only a certain amount of parking spaces at each location. Select one of three locations and bring your bus ticket to get on the bus. All athletes will be returned to their location after the event.

Bus tickets are selected online and will be picked up at registration with your bib number.

Parking and Shuttle options are as follows

5K – No bus tickets. Start and finish at the Silver Strand State Beach. You will need a parking pass to park at the state beach which will be given to you at packet pick up. 5K Participants MUST pick up their bib and parking pass on Friday or Saturday or you will incur a $10 late fee to pick up on race morning. Please consult website or Final Information email for details.
