A monster field on the California coast headlines today's drop. We pulled in fresh finisher results from three races — roughly 5,868 result rows total — and one of them is a genuine giant.
Monterey Bay Half Marathon: 4,076 Finishers
Monterey, California did what Monterey does: filled the roads. The Monterey Bay Half Marathon posted 4,076 finishers for 2026, and all of them are now searchable in our Monterey Bay Half results.
That single race accounts for about seven of every ten result rows we added today. If you ran it, your name is in there. If you didn't, it's the kind of field that makes you start checking next year's calendar.
Rock CF Thumb Coast: 586 Finishers in Port Austin

Emerald Isle: 465 Finishers in North Carolina
Down on the Carolina coast, the Emerald Isle Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K logged 465 finishers. Every one of them is in the Emerald Isle results.
The Pattern: Two Coasts, One Big Day
Here's what stands out in today's data. Two of the three races sit on a coastline — Monterey Bay on the Pacific, Emerald Isle on the Atlantic — and they're separated by roughly 2,700 miles of continent. The third, Port Austin, sits on the tip of Michigan's thumb, right on Lake Huron.
Three races, three shorelines, one results day. Coastal courses keep showing up in the same weekend window, and today's pull makes the case plain.
And the size gap is worth noting: Monterey Bay's 4,076 finishers dwarf the other two fields combined. Big-city half on a scenic coast equals a big board.
