SUMMARY:Surf City Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The Surf City Marathon is Southern California’s iconic Super Bowl Sunday race\, taking runners on a flat\, fast course along the Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach — also known as Surf City USA. With its sunrise ocean views\, palm-tree-lined streets\, signature surfboard finisher medals\, and warm-weather February timing\, it’s one of the most popular West Coast destination races for runners looking to escape winter and chase a PR. \nCourse Highlights\nThe course starts and finishes at the iconic Huntington Beach Pier on PCH\, with the full marathon heading north along the coast through Sunset Beach and Bolsa Chica before turning around. Runners get nonstop ocean views\, surfers paddling out at sunrise\, and the laid-back Southern California beach atmosphere that gives this race its identity. The course is flat with only minor rolling sections\, making it a strong choice for first-time marathoners and PR seekers alike. \nRace Weekend Vibe\nSurf City has a true festival weekend feel. The expo runs Friday and Saturday at the Huntington Beach Convention Center\, and the post-race party on the beach features live music\, food trucks\, beer gardens\, and beachfront yoga sessions. The Super Bowl Sunday timing means most runners stick around for post-race brunch and the big game — many Southern California sports bars cater to the running crowd that day. \nRace Details\n\nLocation: Huntington Beach\, CA — start/finish at the HB Pier on Pacific Coast Highway\nNext Date: Sunday\, February 7\, 2027 (Super Bowl Sunday)\nStart Time: 6:30 AM (Marathon); Half Marathon and 5K follow\nDistances: Marathon\, Half Marathon\, 5K\, Beach Mile\nField Size: 15\,000+ runners across all distances\nCourse: Flat\, fast\, ocean-front\nIconic Feature: Surfboard-shaped finisher medals\nCategory: Road Race — Boston qualifier\, destination\, scenic\n\nWhy Runners Love It\nFebruary sunshine\, sea air\, a flat fast course\, and one of the coolest finisher medals in U.S. running make Surf City a perennial favorite.
