OC Marathon 2027 — Huntington Beach

“The Pacific is to your left for most of the…”

You run through Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach and the reward at the end is the ocean itself - the finish line dropping you onto sand and surf, steps from the pier, in one of the most scenic finishes in American distance running. The OC Marathon routes participants each spring toward that ending, and it serves the full spectrum: full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a dedicated kids' run, drawing thousands from across the region and beyond. The full marathon course meets Boston Marathon qualification standards, pulling in serious competitive runners, while the half marathon is the most popular distance and routinely sells out months in advance. Live bands and volunteer crowds line the route through downtown Huntington Beach, and the post-race area includes food, a beer garden, and live music. Packet pickup and the race expo run in the days before at a dedicated location - check ocmarathon.com for the current expo venue and schedule. Register early regardless of distance; the event fills well ahead of the entry deadline. 2027, Huntington Beach.
