Relive ‘Updated Course. Moonshine Half Marathon’

Come celebrate the full moon and summer approaching with a nighttime 3K (1.8M – great for youth and beginning runners), 5M & Half Marathon. The 3K & 5M are uphill for the first half and downhill for the second half.  The 3K is gentle, the 5M is steep in places with approximately 900′ of elevation gain in the first half, then downhill back to the beach.  The Half Marathon goes up (way up!) for 4 miles, down for 3, up again for 2 and down for the last 4 miles.
