The Pacific Beach Half Marathon and 5K is SoCal running at its best-laid-back vibes, ocean breezes, and a finish line party at the beach. Sunday’s Half Marathon will feature a refreshed course, starting at Crown Point Park and finishing on Thomas Ave with a straight shot to the Pacific. Saturday’s 5K keeps the tradition alive, starting and ending right on the sand for that quintessential PB experience. Run hard or run chill-either way, there’s a beachside finish line waiting for you.
The Half Marathon distance is a point-to-point race starting at Crown Point Park in Mission Bay Park and ending with an epic beachside finish in Pacific Beach! Runners will enjoy a scenic waterfront course where they will pass by Sea World, Hospitality Point, West Mission Bay Dr. Bridge and Mission Beach before finishing on Thomas Ave as it meets the Pacific Beach Boardwalk.
Note: The 5K course will continue its tradition of taking place on Saturday and being 50% sand and 50% boardwalk, with the start and finish on the sand.
All runners receive:
– Pacific Beach Tank Top 🎽
– Custom Finisher Medal 🏅
– Chip Timing ⌚
– Free Photos 📷
– Complimentary Drink Ticket 🍺

I was able to guide Jeff to his PB. Too many turns for a Blind runner so the turns slowed us down. Had a fall at the final stage… steps leading to the beach. Great race, great crowd … will do it again.

Easy run around mission beach, sea world, beautiful beach front homes and finishing on the sand with a beer. Can’t beat it.
However I must say parking at the designated “ParkMobile” parking lots is a rip off. They got me for $70 for 4hrs, almost more than the entry fee. Other than the parking had a great time.

This course is flat and at sea level so PRs are easily achieved! The course uses a lot of sidewalks and boardwalks and two short out-and-back sections that keeps your mind occupied. Pre-race packet pickup was smooth, medals and shirts were top notch, and finishing on the beach was breath- taking. Overall, it was a great race!
