Course
The half starts on Sumner Avenue, and the first four miles climb into the East End on Renton Mine Road. The route rolls across the east summit, then descends past the Wrigley Memorial back into Avalon, with roughly 2,750 feet of gain and mostly dirt underfoot.
The course closes at 1:30 p.m., five and a half hours after the 8 a.m. start, and a sweep vehicle follows the field. Aid stations carry water and electrolytes but no gels or cups, so runners bring their own bottle or cup.
About the Catalina Island Half Marathon
The Catalina Island Half Marathon is the fall race of the Run Catalina series, which also stages the Catalina Island Marathon and the Avalon 50K and 50 mile. A 10K and a kids run share the morning, and posted results go back to 2014.
Runners who finish the half, the marathon and an Avalon ultra within 12 months earn the Triple Crown finisher jacket, shoes and belt buckle. Ferry travel to the island is not part of the entry.
