About
The Hoag Orange County Marathon Running Festival runs across two days, May 1-2, 2027, in Newport Beach, California. On Saturday evening a 5K (3.1 miles) run and walk starts at 5:30 PM. On Sunday morning the marathon (26.2 miles) goes off at 5:30 AM and the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 6:30 AM. No elevation gain is listed.
The contrast in start times is striking: a late-afternoon race one day, then departures before sunrise the next. For the longer formats that means laying out your kit and breakfast the night before, and having rehearsed at least one long run begun at dawn. With the marathon leaving an hour ahead of the half, the two fields mix out on the road, so stick to your own pacing plan rather than latching onto whoever comes past.
