NEW Half Marathon!
Adults run or walk* a half marathon that traverses Newport Beach’s beautiful Upper Newport Bay and ends in the Dunes.
*The “official” Half Marathon finishing time is 3.5 hours which requires participants to maintain a 16 minute per mile pace or faster. Race features including water stops and medals at the finish line might not be available for participants slower than the “official” pace. This is necessary to allow race officials to reopen the roads, paths, and other areas on the course and in the expo venue and for volunteers to break down water stations.
