Del Monte Avenue in downtown Monterey

Monterey Bay Half Marathon 2026

The Monterey Bay Half Marathon is an out-and-back course beginning in historic downtown Monterey, running along Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, and next to the beautiful Pacific Grove shoreline. The course features scenic views of waves crashing on rocky beaches, beautiful Victorian- era homes, and frequent sightings of aquatic life (whales, dolphins, sea otters, pelicans and more).

Celebrate your finish with family and friends at the downtown Custom House Plaza-Monterey State Historic Park. Enjoy a free beer and watch the Awards Ceremony in the post-race Finish Village.
