ABOUT SURF CITY USA MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON TRAINING PLANS

Each year, the Surf City Half Marathon and Marathon are run in early February. Whether it's your first marathon or you're a seasoned racer, it's important to train properly in order to avoid injury. Custom Training Plans has created tailor-made training schedules for Surf City Half Marathon and Marathon distances for runners at any level. Developed by professional trainers, CTP offers Surf City Marathon training plans and Surf City Half Marathon training plans that address your needs and experience level to help you prepare to run your best race.

Surf City USA Marathon and Half Marathon Training Plans

The Surf City Marathon and Half Marathon are one-third of the Beach Cities Challenge series, which also includes the OC Marathon and the Long Beach Marathon. Over 17,000 participants toe the line at the Huntington Beach Pier. Both the marathon and half marathon courses are, for the most part, flat, with cooling Pacific Ocean breezes across the majority of the course. A CTP Surf City Marathon training plan or Surf City Half Marathon training plan can help experienced racers take advantage of the fast course to set a new PR. Our Surf City training schedules prepare you for every mile so you’ll arrive back at the pier feeling strong.

Getting ready for your race with Custom Training Plans is a smart decision. Following our Surf City Marathon training plans or Surf City Half Marathon training plans can make the difference between slogging through the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve with hardly a second glance at your beautiful surroundings and truly enjoying every one of the eight miles of beachfront running path on the marathon course. Don’t risk injury by using a generic free marathon training plan. When you’re ready to get started with a training plan that’s tailored to your needs, get your Surf City Marathon or Half Marathon training plan from Custom Training Plans.

Our method

  1. Certified Coaches

    With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.

  2. Custom Race Profile

    We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.

  3. Training Plan Model

    Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
