A Race Like No Other
On November 16, 2025, the City to the Sea Half Marathon returns 13.1 miles from the heart of San Luis Obispo to the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The course winds through downtown landmarks, country backroads, and the lush Bob Jones Trail, finishing seaside at the Avila Beach Resort.
Prefer something shorter? The Avila-Seaside 5K is a family-friendly course with roughly 75% of the route showcasing breathtaking views of the beach, harbor, and the Pacific Ocean.
