About the Run Hard Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

The course is fully certified, and several distance options let runners pick their own challenge. Aid stations along the route stock water and an electrolyte drink, so you are not hunting for support on longer stretches.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local running store on Sunset Boulevard, with race-morning pickup available at the stadium where the race starts. Race-day registration stays open until shortly before the gun.

Common Questions About the Run Hard Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

Will I finish last at the Run Hard Half Marathon, 10k & 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:04:49, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:32:42, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Run Hard Half Marathon, 10k & 5k a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 341 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Run Hard Half Marathon, 10k & 5k?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:20:57 while the median finisher took 2:04:49. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
