About the Run Your Heart Out - 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon
The course runs along a beach path, so expect an open, flat stretch with ocean surroundings rather than a closed road. The path is shared with pedestrians and cyclists during the race, and runners are asked to keep right. Several distance options use the same out-and-back route in varying loops, so the course becomes familiar quickly. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a local sporting goods store. Race-morning pickup opens before the first wave goes off. Parking is available in a lot near the start, with street parking also an option nearby. At the finish, there is water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit snacks waiting.

The Run Your Heart Out - 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
