New Year's Eve Half Marathon
New Year's Eve Half Marathon is a half marathon held in Riverside, United States, in December.
The race is based at Hidden Valley Nature Center and uses the Santa Ana River Trail, an open path that runners share with the surrounding park. The distance of roughly 13.1 miles is split into three loops of about 4.4 miles each, all starting and finishing at the same point near the nature centre.
Every loop is laid out as a marked out-and-back, which keeps navigation straightforward. The second of the two out-and-back sections carries on for an extra mile east of the start and finish area, going beyond the turnaround used by the shorter 5K. Because the route is repeated, runners see the same stretch of trail several times, and the course is easy to follow from start to finish.
