For runners in the 13.1-mile distance, the Silver Strand race is basically one long straightaway with only a handful of turns off its main stretch, Silver Strand Boulevard. Runners 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. From there, it’s all along the Strand for the next several miles of the race, with stretches that pass by the U.S. Naval Amphibious base, Silver Strand State Beach and Coronado Cays Park.
