LOS ANGELES: BEACH TO BEACH HALF MARATHON - 21K
Runner on the ground - SEAN
When marathon training or just fitting in your long distance day, there’s truly no better place to go in Los Angeles than the beach. With its slightly cooler climates, salt water smell and endlessly beautiful paths, this curated 13 mile beach route will make the time zoom by.
This half marathon route will start at the World Famous Santa Monica Pier. Here is where we’ll see the boardwalk and the iconic ferris wheel in the distance. From there, we’ll take an easy beach path to Venice Beach to check out the skate park, the shops and pass through muscle beach, a place made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1970’s. Along the way, we’ll see some truly fun street art and murals that showcase Venice as a very art forward and creative beach enclave. After Venice, we pass Ballona Creek and wetlands. This marks the south end of the Marina, so we’ll see the Los Angeles river spill off and cross bridges going over the water via the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail. From there, we’ll turn back toward Santa Monica and experience these cute, classic and colorful beach towns from the back end as we pass famous cafes, shops and landmarks. Don’t worry, though. We’ll still get to smell the salty beach air and feel the wind!
We will be running most of this route on a dedicated beach path, which is for runners and bikers only, so we don’t need to stop at stop lights or deal with as many cars. This is a foot friendly route with stunning beach views and good vibes. Tour guide Sean will also assist with making sure no one gets off path and clear room for any bikers.
Aside from the aforementioned spots we hit, Sean will also showcase some lesser known spots, film locations and some historical facts. There will be plenty of places for water and restroom breaks, if needed.
For a trip to Los Angeles, this beach half marathon is a nice way to soak up what the city has to offer.
