Hi Sharon - 17,000 participants for the Surf City Marathon is very impressive. Add Super Bowl Sunday to the festivities and you have an ideal day for many.

No kidding Michael Jacobs,  17,000 is impressive!! They do close off Coast Highway, so you kind of have to know the alternate routes.

Good morning Sharon. 17 thousand participants is a very good number. Hopefully everyone that starts will also finish. It has been many years since I have run a marathon.

Sharon, my son recently ran in a half marathon at Disney in Orlando. The crowds and participants were huge. Good Luck!

Sounds like a great day, Sharon.  (Though, if I ran a marathon, or even a half marathon, my guess is that I would be asleep by the time the Super Bowl came on!)

I've never been a runner, but my daughter is.  She would enjoy this, especially because it's at the beach!

Sharon, You have to be a serious runner and train to run in any Marathon. I use to run but certainly could never reach marathon distance. This event will be very well attended.

Hi Sharon Paxson , I remember having t run on the beach to build our leg muscles for track and cross country in High School.  Do they have a 100 yard marathon?  That's about my limit these days.
