The Half Moon Bay International Marathon will be held on September 23, 2012 in gorgeous Half Moon Bay, California. A coastal town with a quaint fishing harbor, Half Moon Bay is only 25 miles south of world-famous San Francisco, yet feels miles away because of the slow pace and small-town friendliness. The start and finish of the race is in the same harbor where the world-famous Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Contest is held, and home to hotels, spas, and many unique restaurants.The marathon course is unique in that it features 26 miles all along the Pacific coastline, avoiding all major streets for a wonderful running experience. September offers the prettiest weather for the local area, yet ideal running conditions as temperatures will typically range between the low 50s to the mid 60s. 

The Marathon is USATF certified and accordingly is recognized by the Boston Marathon and other events which require qualification on a certified course. The course is a flat course with very little elevation gain, run at sea level in excellent weather conditionsa great opportunity for you to meet or exceed your goals!
