Course and race notes
Let's ring in 2027 the way we know best! The WCRC Hangover Classic features both 10K and 5K road races. Both races start simultaneously from the same line and both finish on the same line (with start and finish chip timing). Both courses are flat and fast - entirely on beachfront roads (no beach running).
From the race's own listing. Check the race website for the course map and parking.
