WHERE SURF MEETS RUN

HONORING OUR LOCAL LEGENDS OF HUNTINGTON BEACH

We follow in the footsteps of those who have carved their paths among the waves and inspired us to do the same on land.

United as a community of runners, surfers, and dreamers, we celebrate the spirit of endurance and the essence of community.

THE MEETING OF TWO ICONIC CULTURES

CELEBRATING THIS UNIQUE COMING TOGETHER

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.

2025 LOCAL LEGEND

Robert August

Robert August’s journey began on the shores of Huntington Beach, where the rhythm of the waves shaped not only his future but the global surfing community. Star of the legendary film The Endless Summer, Robert continues to inspire generations to pursue their passions, whether on land or sea.

As the first honoree of our Local Legends program, Robert’s legacy will be embodied throughout the experience leading up to and on race weekend.

STAY IN THE KNOW

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.

Keep your eyes peeled on our social to stay connected and be the first to hear about #WhereSurfMeetsRun
