Monterey Bay Half Marathon Runner Perks

 

---

We’re Rated 4.9/5 on RaceRaves

 

The reviews are in, and runners love the Monterey Bay Half Marathon. With an out-and-back course that starts in historic Monterey, runs past Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, and hugs the stunning Pacific Grove shoreline, it’s as scenic as it gets.

 

★★★★★ Reviews

“As a first time half marathon runner I wanted to run in a beautiful place, Monterey Bay Half Marathon exceeded my expectations. The weather was 10/10, the views 12/10, the event organizers 10/10!”

“One of the most beautiful races as you run along the Monterey Bay with seals, sea lions and otters cheering you on from the water!“

“Great energy from the community; the weather in Monterey in November is exceptional; the race is fairly flat, along the ocean.”
