POSTPONED UNTIL 2025

The 2024 City to the Sea on November 12 is postponed until next year.

The 2024 City to the Sea on November 12 is postponed for a year while a new “finish destination” is determined. We appreciate your patience and support.

The City to the Sea half marathon course is a point-to-point race that starts in downtown San Luis Obispo. The course winds through the city, takes runners along scenic backroads, including the Bob Jones Trail, and ends alongside the Pacific Ocean, with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, in the coastal community of Pismo Beach.

Our Seaside 5k course (3.1 miles) is out-and-back and begins and ends in Pismo Beach at Dinosaur Caves Park, near the finish expo for the half marathon. The scenic course winds through the beautiful neighborhoods of Shell Beach with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. There is one challenging climb on this otherwise gentle course.

Top 100 half marathon finishers receive a City to the Sea mug! Each half marathon & 5k participant receives a finishers medal + event t-shirt. In addition, runners will receive fresh fruit, hot coffee and for those 21+ one beer. Join us! 

After the race, all runners are encouraged to relax on the Dinosaur Caves Park bluffs by the ocean where you can listen to music, pursue the expo booths, dine on a delicious (and well-earned) food truck breakfast, and sip on a beer. Buses and shuttles will take you back to the start-line area in San Luis Obispo, or to Pismo Beach City Hall. You may also arrange for your own private transportation if you prefer.
