Event Details

  • Half Marathon- You will run over AND under the London Bridge! This course is USATF Certified. It begins at 6:30am and has a 4.5 hour time limit.

  • Lighthouse Challenge (Half & 5K Same Day)- Do both races back to back. You'll get a bonus medal for doing both events! The half begins at 6:30am and the 5K begins at 9:30am. Do them both and get the bonus Lighthouse Medal. You must start the 5K by 9:35am which means you need to finish the half marathon in less than 3 hours and 5 minutes. If you need more time, you can complete the 5K as a virtual run on another day on your own but our course will begin to close down in a rolling fashion, following the last participant who leaves the start line at 9:35 AM. Anyone who starts late might not have course support and the markers telling you what mile you are at and where to turn may have been removed by the time you reach them. Participants who start late may also have to move over to the sidewalk if streets have begun to be reopened.

     

  • 5K- This event is walker friendly. It begins at 9:30am and has a 90 minute time limit.

  • Doggie Dash 3K- Fido can join the event too! One entry includes one human and one dog. This race starts at 6:00pm. Bring your dog and join us for a fun 3K run/walk on the island that will start and end adjacent to the dog park at London Bridge Beach. Plenty of water bowls will be provided for any parched pooch. Dog medals will be awarded as you cross the finish line and head to the finish line party full of dog friendly vendors. Human and canine specific treats and beverages will be plentiful.

  • Virtual Lighthouse Challenge (Half & 5K)- 16.3 miles gets you some special bling. You do not need to complete the entire event in one attempt, you can combine several runs or walks to get to the total. You will receive three medals in this category.
