Doggie Dash 3K
Bring your dog and join us for a fun 3K run/walk on the island that will start and end adjacent to the dog park at London Bridge Beach. Plenty of water bowls will be provided for any parched pooch. Dog medals will be awarded as you cross the finish line and head to the finish line party full of dog friendly vendors. Human and canine specific treats and beverages will be plentiful.
Half Marathon
Four and a half hour course time limit
Lighthouse Challenge (Half & 5K Same Day)
NOTE timing change from the 2022 event: Half at 7am, 5K at 10am, do them both and get the bonus Lighthouse Medal. You must start the 5K by 10:05am which means you need to finish the half marathon in less than 3 hours and 5 minutes. If you need more time, you can complete the 5K as a virtual run on another day on your own but our course will begin to close down in a rolling fashion, following the last participant who leaves the start line at 10:05 AM. Anyone who starts late might not have course support and the markers telling you what mile you are at and where to turn may have been removed by the time you reach them. Participants who start late may also have to move over to the sidewalk if streets have begun to be reopened.
