Seaside Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

Most of the race is run on all-flat paved terrain, whether that’s bike paths in the early miles through Emma Wood State Beach, or the paved roadways along the Old Rincon Highway.
Runners will have 90 minutes to finish the 10K, four hours to complete the half marathon, and seven hours to complete the full marathon, which should allow plenty of time for walkers as well as runners in both races. There’s also a 5K race, which starts fifteen minutes after the 10K’s scheduled 7:30 AM start time.
For runners in the half marathon, the scheduled starting time is 7:15 AM. And consider bringing a jacket or other clothing to protect against the wind — the temperature in late February averages in the mid-60s, but there are likely to be plenty of very breezy stretches along the course, thanks to its location near the ocean.
