SeaWheeze (August 23rd, downtown)
Not your average half marathon, this LuluLemon-organized event is dubbed the yoga. run. party. SeaWheeze is a great way to get active, squeeze in your yoga, crush your running goals, and celebrate it all with a post-run brunch along with a little beachfront yoga session in true West Coast style before hitting up the SeaWheeze Sunset outdoor concert. The race might be sold out, but you can still cheer on the runners, shop the showcase store, and check out the festivities.
