Ahh Southern California and your picturesque beaches, your gorgeous weather, and turquoise waters. What better place to run a marathon than along the gorgeous Pacific Coast Highway, or the PCH as locals call it. Well it just so happens that February 6th is the Surf City USA Marathon and Vitalyte is proud to announce that we will be the marathon’s official drink!
The marathon course heads through Huntington Beach, past it’s pier and it’s scenic Central Park, and then heads down a beachfront running path at Bolsa Chica State Beach. The runners will definitely need a lot of nourishment along the way and Vitalyte is excited to be their number one sports drink supplier. With average highs at 68 degrees, it is beyond important that the runners stay hydrated.
The marathon is so popular that it is already sold out. Last year, the Surf City USA Marathon broke all attendance records with over 16,700 finishers in the marathon, half marathon & 5K events. This year, 18,000 runners will be there to give it their all under the wonderful Southern California sunshine.
Every year, the Surf City USA Marathon teams up with the Free Wheelchair Mission. Runners are encouraged to use the marathon as a way to raise funds to send specially engineered wheelchairs to needy and developing nations. The alliance forged in 2006 has allowed Surf City USA Marathon runners to raise more than $1,600,000 to date.
Vitalyte is so proud of the runners and their fundraising efforts and amped to support them on February 6th!
