Course Description
The GlowTide 5K starts and finishes under the Holiday lights of the Manhattan Beach Pier. Race out and back north to the jetty at 45th Street. The miles are marked and "kick" markers are placed from 400m to 100m to go to guarantee your best finish. The super low tide creates a perfect running surface of hard packed sand so running with or without shoes is an option (the faster athletes tend to wear shoes). Baby joggers work great and kids love being that close to the sea.
Directions and Parking
405 to Rosecrans west. South on Sepulveda (Pacific Coast Highway) to Manhattan Beach Blvd. West to the ocean. Parking in lots at Manhattan Pier, & lot and structure at Highland and 12th. Bring quarters for the meters!
