Race Day Festivities
Come for the Race, Stay for the Pie 🥧 !
Worried about parking? Don't be! Senior Coastsiders is selling parking at nearby Shoreline Station for $25! The PTO is also selling parking in the lots adjacent to Hatch Elementary School on Kelly Avenue (across from Tres Amigos). You can also find parking in the surrounding streets (do not block driveways or entrances to public buildings). The parking lot at Hatch Elementary, where the start and finish for the race is located, is NOT available. You will have access to parking well BEFORE the Pumpkinhead festival goers (read: late risers) arrive. We think a worm is a pretty lame prize for getting up early... how about a medal, a shirt, a pumpkin and then a festival to celebrate your accomplishment instead?
Walk or run your event and then head over to our friends at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival and enjoy the remainder of the day. You will experience the joys of fall with friends and family while enjoying specialty brews, arts and crafts, live-streamed football or the baseball playoffs, and yes...pumpkin flavored everything!
Schedule of Events
Photos? Yes, please!
We will have professional photographers from Facchino Photography on course and at the start/finish line to commemorate your experience. You can learn more about our professional photographers and what to expect on race day here.
Food, Glorious Food
After your race replace those hard spent calories by refueling with bagels, fresh fruit, and other goodies. We will also have coffee available
provided by our race partner, Starbucks of Half Moon Bay.
Awards Ceremony
Join us as we celebrate the hard work of our overall winners for the 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances. Overall winners will be given a special award. Overall Awards will be for 1st and 2nd place by gender (M,F,N). Additionally, we have awards presented by A Runner's Mind for our age group winners, 1st and 2nd place (M,F,N). Age group awards will be notified separately and their awards will be managed by our staff.
Awards will be at approximately 9:30am.
*Overall and age group awards are based on chip time. Chip time is the actual time it takes one to run the course. Chip time is measured from when one crosses the start line timing mat to when one crosses the finish line timing mat.
