About this event
City to the Sea is a point-to-point Central Coast classic that carries runners from downtown San Luis Obispo out to the Pacific Ocean, with a net-downhill half marathon that is popular for personal-best attempts, plus a 5K for those wanting a shorter effort. The scenic route rolls through San Luis Obispo County countryside and finishes near the coast, rewarding participants with ocean air and a festive finish area. The half's downhill profile draws both competitive and recreational runners. Register online in advance; because it is point-to-point, review the shuttle and start-line logistics ahead of race morning and arrive early.
