The half marathon is two different out and backs, starting at Madaket Plaza, 1st & C Streets in Eureka. Runners take the first out and back going Northwest on the Waterfront Trail to a turn-around loop at Tydd Street. Runners return on the trail, pass through Madaket Plaza and to cover the second, longer out and back. This second section includes a quick and spectacular jaunt on Del Norte Street Pier before continuing to the end of the Hikshari Trail and the turn around. Although this course is nearly flat, the views are diverse, just like Eureka and Humboldt Bay.

The half marathon starts at 8 AM, and participants will have 7 hours to complete the course. Walkers are welcome!

The full marathon runs the Half Marathon course, TWICE! It provides a rare, scenic tour along the whole length of Eureka Waterfront and Hikshari trails. Runners will be able to experience the morning unfolding and the waterfront coming alive as they cover the course again.  Just like the Half Marathon, this race is virtually flat with ample bathrooms and spots for supporters to sit and cheer.

The marathon will start at 7 AM, and runners will have a maximum of 8 hours to finish.

We will not be offering a mile run in 2021.  Hopefully things will be back closer to normal for 2022!
