SUMMARY:Silver Strand Half Marathon\, 10 Miler\, 12K & Veterans Day 5K
DESCRIPTION:Silver Strand Half Marathon: Ocean on One Side\, Bay on the Other\nThere is exactly one race course in the United States where you can look right and see the Pacific Ocean\, look left and see San Diego Bay — and that’s the Silver Strand Half Marathon. Set along the narrow Silver Strand (Highway 75) between Coronado and Imperial Beach\, this flat and fast Veterans Day weekend race offers something for every distance runner: a half marathon\, 10-miler\, 12K\, and Veterans Day 5K — all on November 8\, 2026. \nThe Course\nAll distances start at Silver Strand State Beach (Parking Lot 3\, 5000 CA-75\, Coronado) at 7:00 AM and run along the closed Silver Strand highway\, one of the most unique stretches of road in California. The half marathon course is as flat and fast as they come — near-zero elevation change\, cool November air off the water\, and unobstructed views of the ocean and bay for every mile. All distances finish at Silver Strand State Beach. If you’re chasing a half marathon PR on a forgiving course\, Silver Strand consistently delivers. \nRace Day Experience\nThis race commits fully to the party. Every participant receives a Hawaiian shirt or dress — yes\, you’ll be running in aloha style. Finish line festivities include a California Beach Party with a live band and beer garden. The Taku Drummers perform along the course\, adding an unexpected burst of energy when you need it most. Finisher medals are shaped like surfboards. It’s one of the most festive post-race experiences at any San Diego road race. Military members\, veterans\, police\, fire\, and first responders receive discounted registration — a fitting tribute given the Veterans Day timing. \nWhy Run Silver Strand?\nOrganized by Koz Events and benefiting the Life Sports Foundation and Team Hoyt\, Silver Strand is a race with genuine heart behind it. The flat\, closed-highway course is legitimately one of the fastest in the region — great for a first half marathon or a PR attempt. The Veterans Day theme adds meaning and community to the experience\, and the unique dual-water geography makes it one of the most visually striking courses on the San Diego running calendar. \nTravel & Logistics\nSilver Strand State Beach is located on the Coronado peninsula\, about 10 miles south of downtown San Diego via the Coronado Bridge or the Silver Strand itself. The Coronado area offers upscale hotels and the famous Hotel del Coronado nearby. The race’s point-to-finish structure means the start and finish are at the same location\, making logistics simple. The beach area has ample parking\, but arriving early on race morning is recommended. Imperial Beach to the south is also a worthwhile exploring if you’re making a weekend of it. \nHow to Register\nSign up for the Silver Strand Half Marathon\, 10 Miler\, 12K\, or Veterans Day 5K through RunSignUp. For the latest pricing\, wave times\, and event details\, visit the official Silver Strand Half website. Military and first responder discounts are available at checkout.
