Saturday Run - 3 Piers and The Helmsman
Leader: Darshan & Anuja
Location: Meet at the Newport Beach Pier. Arrive early for parking (can pay by card or phone at the metered lot or find nearby street parking). If you show up early, park for free behind The Helmsman Ale House, just make sure to keep a few (5+?) spots open for their staff!
Directions: From the 5 Freeway to 55-S, follow signs to the Newport Beach Pier. Search “Sharkeez Newport Beach” on Google Maps for exact directions to the pier/pier parking lot.
About the Run: This is a club favorite that starts/ends at the Newport Beach Pier and takes us on endless flat miles along the beach! Most of the club will start from the Newport Pier and head north towards the HB Pier for an 11.1 mile out-and-back run, which can easily be shortened or extended for your desired mileage. Another option is to run south towards the Breakers (passing the CDM Pier) for a 5.75 mile out-and back. To get the three piers, you can start before the run to do the 5.75 mi Breakers run, then meet the club at the start to run the HB Pier run together. Restrooms and water fountains are available throughout the run, primarily clustered closer to the HB Pier.
After the Run: The Helmsman Ale House (link here to helmsmanalehouse.com) is generously hosting us for brunch after the run. There will be a discount for our runners and a combo special (more info to come). Please note that they open at 9a.
