Each year, on the fourth Sunday in July, thousands of runners from across America and around the globe return to Santa Cruz, California for the annual six-mile race to Capitola-by-the-Sea. First run in 1973 by a handful of locals, the Wharf to Wharf Race today enjoys a gourmet reputation in running circles worldwide. Its scenic, seaside setting, perfect weather, and festive beach party atmosphere make it a favorite of casual joggers and elite athletes alike. Limited to 15,000 runners on a first-come-first-served basis, its field sells out months in advance. Runners are thrilled just to get in! It’s the best little road race in California!

Over 150 fine artists, wine tasting from Santa Cruz Mountains wineries, gourmet cuisine, kid’s art area, dance, performance art and music…all in beautiful Capitola Village overlooking the Monterey Bay.
