COURSE

The race will start on Pier 6 and runs north along the waterfront to Pier 1 and back.  

Check out the interactive map HERE.

Runners will start on Pier 6 and head north toward Pier 1, looping around Pier 5 and Pier 2 along the way. After reaching Pier 1, they’ll make a sharp turnaround and follow the same route back to Pier 6, where the finish line is located.

This scenic out-and-back course starts and finishes at the same location, offering beautiful waterfront views and a flat, fast route perfect for runners of all levels.

COURSE ETIQUETTE + SAFETY

Please stay alert and aware throughout the race, as this is an out-and-back course. From start to finish, runners will be sharing the same path—those heading toward Pier 1 for the turnaround and those returning to the finish will be on the course at the same time.

To ensure a safe and smooth experience for everyone:

  • Follow all cones, course markings, and directional signage
  • Stay within the marked course boundaries at all times
  • Keep to your right to allow space for oncoming runners
  • Listen to and follow directions from our course volunteers

Additionally, please stay clear of designated bike lanes. These paths will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians, so it’s important to remain within the course parameters for your safety and theirs—especially on the piers and tighter turns.

Your cooperation helps keep the course safe and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you!

WATER AND HYDRATION

Water will be available on the course just after Pier 2, between Mile 1 and 2. There will be two water stations—one for runners heading toward Pier 1, and another for those on the return leg toward the finish.

We also encourage runners to bring their own water bottles or hydration packs, especially if you're more comfortable carrying your own supplies.

With warm temperatures expected on race day, please dress appropriately and plan ahead. Be sure to stay well-hydrated throughout race week to perform your best and stay safe.
