About this run
Hilly and challenging course with breathtaking ocean views. The race is entirely on paved roads. For both courses, runners loop through Shore Acres heading out (south), and run straight back on the return (north). 5K Course Map 10K Course Map Note that students are $5.00. Please use the coupon code Student2022 to register. To avoid credit-card fees, you will not be charged at check-out. Please bring $5.00 (exact change appreciated) to registration! Starting Oct 1, 2025, all vehicles require a parking pass (cost is per vehicle, not per runner). Cost of a day pass is $10 for in-state or $12 for out-of-state. Daily passes are available at a kiosk near registration with a QR code using your phone. We are working with the parks to see if we can sell them as part of registration, but details have not been worked out yet. Annual state park passes are $30 for one year and $50 for two years. They can be purchased at the gift shop at Shore Acres or on-line. FYI, the price will double to $60 for an annual pass January 1 and they will no longer issue two-year passes, so if you visit our beautiful state parks, it is cheaper to buy now.
