This is a space where the spirit of Huntington Beach comes alive, bridging communities through stories of resilience, passion, and the pursuit of adventure.

Each year, starting this year, we will spotlight a local icon of Huntington Beach and celebrate their story, purpose and impact; integrating them into the Surf City Marathon runner experience.

A true icon of Huntington Beach, our inaugural Local Legend has left a lasting mark on the world of surf and continues to inspire countless others. From riding the waves to pursuing adventures that span land and sea, this legend embodies the spirit of endurance and passion we celebrate.

Stay tuned as we reveal the story behind a figure whose legacy has shaped our community, and who will be honored in a way like never before.

As we honor those who have shaped both land and sea, Surf City will continue to champion their collective drive to explore, endure, and thrive—whether chasing the next wave or crossing the next finish line.

In the spirit of unity between the waves and the finish line, we’ve got a few things up our sleeve to honor our community of runners, surfers, and dreamers. This is just a glimpse into where where we want to go and we want to take you with us.
