About the RPV's Run For Myles

The course runs along the coast at Point Vicente Interpretive Center, and the views out over the Pacific are the main thing people talk about afterward. The longer distance does a couple of loops, the shorter one goes out and back along the same stretch of road. Both formats let you see the water for most of the run.

Bib pickup runs the evening before at a location to be confirmed, or on race morning if you prefer to skip the earlier option. Parking is available at the interpretive center early in the morning, and additional parking is offered at City Hall with a shuttle running back and forth to the start.

Common Questions About the RPV's Run For Myles

Will I finish last at the RPV's Run For Myles?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 39:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:53, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the RPV's Run For Myles a good first 5K?

It is a small race (133 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the RPV's Run For Myles?

The 5K winner ran 17:45 while the median finisher took 39:03. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
