Dee Dee, my favorite Half is the Surf City Half Marathon, held every Super Bowl Sunday morning in Huntington Beach. The medal is a surfboard!! And the course is run on PCH for a good portion. It rained like crazy the year I did it, but it was still awesome!

Totally agree with Sharon. It's just the best. Great course, very well organized, great runners. I've done it twice. And the surfboard medal is the bomb.

I loved the Malibu 1/2 Marathon last year, and intend to do it again this year. If you are one who enjoys an incredible view the entire time, rolling hills, and serenity, this one is fantastic. I used it as my first good hill run at the beginning of my marathon training season last year in prep for Big Sur Marathon. Another great perk is that you not only get a medal, you get a BIG, snuggly beach towel, AND the finish is on the beach so you have a FREE ice bath thanks to the Pacific Ocean.
Minus: no beer garden. ; )
If you love a fast, well-organized, flat 1/2 marathon course, Surf City can't be beat, especially for the price, expo, parking, etc. Great spectators, great medal, and excellent post-run expo and BEER GARDEN! Nice long sleeve tech shirt too.
Happy Running Y'all!
