About the Event

Have you ever wondered how you would do if everyone ran just the Rockaway 5K (and ½ the people didn't go off and do the 12K?). THIS is the chance to find out on one of the most scenic runs of the year. Start off running south along Rockaway beach, then up the switchbacks, followed by a ¼ mile grade to a long downhill to run along Linda Mar Beach before the turnaround. Then it's back up and over, to a fast, flat finish.

Course starts and finishes at the parking lot located at Dondee and San Marlo Ways, Pacifica. Parking available at the start with overflow parking available in the nearby Rockaway Beach area.

Race day check-in begins at 8am and the race will start at 9am. Finisher ribbons to all runners and place ribbons to Top 5 M/F/NB runners.

Race is held rain or shine and we regret no refunds.
