Avila-Seaside 5k

5K Course Overview

The Avila-Seaside 5K is a scenic out-and-back 3.1-mile route that starts near the Avila Beach Resort. A specific starting line point will be announced soon!

Approximately 75% of the course offers sweeping views of Avila Beach, the harbor, and the Pacific Ocean. Runners and walkers alike are encouraged to keep an eye out - you might catch glimpses of sea lions, otters, or even whales along the way.

The route also briefly joins the beautiful and shaded Bob Jones Trail, giving participants a taste of one of the Central Coast’s most beloved pathways before finishing oceanside at the lively Avila Beach Resort - home to the shared City to the Sea Finish Line Festival.
