Packet Pick-Up will take place at the Chase Palm Park Carousel House & Plaza. City Public Parking lots are available across the street, on Garden St. and throughout the downtown region. Parking is also available on the street within the Funk Zone / Waterfront area and is a walkable distance.
Bike parking will be available, but will not be a Valet, so please lock your bike. Bike parking is at your own risk similar to any public bike parking stalls.
The Starting Line for both the Half Marathon & 5K as well as the Funk Zone Finish Line Festival are both near State St. & Yanonali St. The finish line is two blocks up from this area on State St. Participants will walk under the 101 underpass where they will collect their medal and have access to food and water before meeting up with their families near the Funk Zone Finish Line Festival.
You are welcome to park in any of the City owned lots along the waterfront on Cabrillo Blvd. prior to the 7:00am start of the Half Marathon, but please note any parking time limits and/or fees at City or Private lots. There is no official event parking unless otherwise noted for VIP tickets. If you have an active Waterfront Parking Permit you may use those on accepted lots just like any other day.
Please note that the Highway 101 off-ramps will be closed at Castillo St. and Bath St. We recommend exiting at Carrillo St. or Garden St.
