About the Surf City Marathon
Surf City is a Southern California coastal marathon for runners who want a flat course and beach-town race weekend. It has strong qualifier appeal, but coastal wind and sun can still shape the day.
Course
The marathon uses Huntington Beach roads, Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Central Park, and Bolsa Chica-area beachfront running. The profile is flat and mostly built for rhythm.
Race-day weather
February in Huntington Beach is usually mild, but ocean wind, sun, or a cool marine layer can change the feel. Runners should be ready for exposed coastal miles.
