Event
Details
Fast and flat with gorgeous views of both the Pacific Ocean and San
Diego Bay, the Silver Strand Half Marathon & 5K takes runners
along the highway by the same name, along a point-to-point 13.1-mile
course that runs from Coronado to Imperial Beach, which lies about 20
miles south of downtown San Diego. Open to runners, walkers and inline
skaters, the race will also feature a relay component in 2008, for
teams of either two or three runners to compete in the half marathon.
The race is basically one long straightaway course with only a handful
of turns off its main stretch, the Silver Strand Boulevard. Runners
will start the race at Sunset Park on San Diego's North Island Naval
Air Station, and follow Ocean Boulevard for roughly the first mile
until it meets up with Silver Strand in Coronado, after which point
it's all along the Strand for the next several miles of the race. Along
the way, participants will get a free running tour of the U.S. Naval
Amphibious base, the Silver Strand State Beach and Coronado Cays Park.
Runners meet the final stretch of the race once they reach Palm Avenue
in Imperial Beach, turning right toward the beach onto Palm and then
left onto Seacoast Drive for the last stretch toward the finish line at
the Imperial Beach Pier. The end will make it all worth it, organizers
say, as the "party at the pier" will include massage tables, live
music, a beer garden and plenty of post-race refreshments. The race
starts at 7:00 AM, and organizers will provide shuttle transporation
for runners to the start.
