WITH ATTITUDE

The Santa Cruz Half Marathon takes runners along California’s most breathtaking coastline. Starting near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the course goes south through seaside neighborhoods and into Capitola Village before turning back toward Santa Cruz for a beachside finish.
 

It’s a route that captures everything Santa Cruz stands for!

YOUR 2026

HALF MARATHON

Fast, scenic, and surf-soaked: the Santa Cruz Half starts near the Wharf/Boardwalk, runs the coastline past the harbor and East Cliff ocean views, taps into the stoke at Pleasure Point, then loops through Capitola before flying back to a beach finish at Cowell’s. A half marathon that feels like a victory lap along the Pacific.
