WCRC New Year's Day Hangover Classic: 5k, 10k, Plunge!
About this race
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AWESOME YEAR!!
Stay tuned as we plan for 2027!
The WCRC Hangover Classic features both 10K and 5K road races. Both races start simultaneously from the same line and both finish on the same line (with start and finish chip timing). Both courses are flat and fast – entirely on beachfront roads (no beach running). Given the scenic beachfront location, many participants choose to take a post-race ocean plunge to kick off the New Year. Post-Race Party with music, beer, or and plenty of fun at the beach!
