The Half Marathon Championships of Elliptical Cycling!
Here’s your chance to etch your name in the history books. Put the pedals to the metal on the flat, fast Silver Strand course, and you could be the first-ever Half Marathon Champion for ElliptiGO bikes. Along the way, you’ll set the official course record and the standard that future challengers will strive to beat. Or if you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can’t beat the gorgeous route between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay.
 Either way, you can bring your own bike or rent one from ElliptiGO Headquarters in Solana Beach: www.elliptigo.com. We are offering a very special weekend rental rate of just $35 for race participants, but quantity is limited. To reserve yours TODAY, simply call 888-796-8227 and press "0" to reach a customer service representative. Be sure to mention that you are participating in Silver Strand to receive the discounted race price. You can pick up the bike by 3:30pm Friday and keep it until Monday at 5:00pm, but must be able to transport the vehicle to the race yourself. If you are registered to run and are injured – or if you simply want to experience the awesome cross-training of an ElliptiGO bike – you can transfer your race registration to participate in the 10-Mile Championships of Elliptical Cycling … we will waive the transfer fee!

Party at the Pier - After the race, kick back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Party at the Pier. There will be live entertainment, beer garden, post race food, fluids and massages.
