Monterey Bay Half Marathon

November 10, 2024

Monterey Bay Half Marathon

Come for the run … stay and play by the Bay

The Monterey Bay Half Marathon is an out-and-back course beginning in historic downtown Monterey, running along Steinbeckโ€™s Cannery Row, and next to the beautiful Pacific Grove shoreline. The course features scenic views of waves crashing on rocky beaches, beautiful Victorian-era homes, and frequent sightings of aquatic life (whales, dolphins, sea otters, pelicans and more).

Celebrate your finish with family and friends at the downtown Custom House Plaza-Monterey State Historical Park at our post-race Finish Village, where you can visit the Treadmill Recovery Center, enjoy a free beer at the Lagunitas Brewing tent and watch the Awards Ceremony.

Monterey Bay Half Marathon is USATF certified. There is a 3 ยฝ hour time limit, an approximate 16 minute-per-mile pace.
