Runners travel from all over the world to run for one of our famous Surf City Finisher Medallions! We created the “original” surfboard style medal and it has evolved over the years to become one of the most sought after (and award winning) medals ever!

Inspired by the classic Huntington Beach Surf City USA lifestyle, our finisher medals show why we’re named: California’s Classic Favorite.

Check out the 2020 Finisher’s Shirt:

Our shirts are always a hit! Take a look at our previous years’ event tees, below.

Surf City Tote Bag
