Race Description: The Santa Cruz Half Marathon consists of a 13.1-mile run/walk along scenic West Cliff Drive past breathtaking vistas of the Pacific coastline. Runners then pass through the surrounding neighborhoods and make their way west along a paved path through strawberry fields, past historic farm buildings to Wilder Ranch Sate Park. From there, it's a loop on the Old Cove Landing Trail (unpaved) with incredible views of the rugged ocean bluffs. Runners then retrace their steps back to the finish line festivities on Cowell's Beach just a stone's throw from the start line.

The SantaCruz Half/10k is a fantastic opportunity to see some worldclass scenery, meet some nice people and participate in anything 6 minute mile- 15 mnute mile or more. This very laid back race has a beautiful mid way loop out on the cliffs above the ocean on farm property which in my opinion is a highlight.----the trails and paths are wide and there is a beach finish. The organization is top notch with lots of supplies and encouragement out along the course. The winners are fast, and it was great to see them coming back into town because the course isnt overly crowded-- you get a great opportunity to meet/greet/run and watch!
