Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
💧 Healthier Hydration
No disposable cups at this event
Why no disposable cups at the water stations?
We’re committed to making the Shoreline Park Half Marathon safe, sustainable, and healthy for everyone. That’s why you won’t see disposable cups at our aid stations.
✅ Safety for Runners & Volunteers
No cups means no chasing after blown-away litter, no slippery hazards on the course, and a safer environment for both runners and event staff.
🌿 Environmentally Friendly
In past years, events like this would have gone through more than 60,000 single-use cups — most of which cannot be recycled. By eliminating disposables, we’re protecting the shoreline, ocean, and community we love.
🛍 Forgot Your Cup?
No problem! Reusable cups are available for just $3 at packet pickup or on race day at check-in.
💧 Healthier Hydration
Each station is equipped with a hands-free foot pedal water unit that dispenses 10oz per second. Simply bring your own reusable bottle or cup, fill up, and keep running.
What is a USATF-Certified Course?
A USATF-certified course is a road race course whose distance has been certified for accuracy.
Courses must be certified for any road running performance to be accepted as a record or to be nationally ranked. Furthermore, running a race on a certified course allows you to accurately compare your time to performances run on other certified courses because you can be sure the distances were the same. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.
