Dear Fellow Runners,
We want to cordially invite you to the 16th annual City to the Sea race on October 9th this year. We’ll once again be featuring the famous half-marathon course that starts in America’s Happiest City—San Luis Obispo—and ends in beautiful, seaside Pismo Beach.
The 5k and Kids’ Fun Run will both start and finish in Pismo Beach, and after, join us for food, live music, an expo, and family-friendly activities at the finish line at the Pismo Beach Dinosaur Caves Park.
You’ll Notice Something New This Year…
You can register online for all both the half marathon and 5K races on our new website! We’re so pleased to unveil our new look and site that’s full of race information, lodging and dining tips, pictures, and even a race training program.
Run your best race with Coach Locher’s Training Program
Starting August 1st, the Cuesta College head running coach, Brian Locher, will be taking runners through a training program at the Cal Poly track, from 5:00 – 6:30. The weekly training program will include drills, strengthening exercises, and stretches, in addition to a list of training runs to do throughout the week. Visit our website for all the details and to register for this unique training plan, tailored specifically for the City to the Sea Half-Marathon Race in October.
And Don’t Forget – The City to the Sea Race Supports a Great Cause
The City to the Sea race has been raising money to support the Cuesta College track and cross-country athletes since 1995. Your race registration ensures that these fantastic, talented, and community-involved athletes will be able to continue training and racing in the next season. This year we’re also partnering with two wonderful local charities: SARP Center and AmpSurf. Click here to learn more about the charities.
We’re looking forward to seeing you this year!
Sign up today, and don’t forget to tell your friends! We can’t wait to see you! If you’d like to volunteer instead of race in this year’s event, please send us a message here —we’re in need of your help!
Enjoy your summer!
Brian Locher and Jani Johnson,
Race Directors, City to the Sea
