No auto traffic to worry about on this course. Post race street tacos too! USATF Certified course #CA23032TEB and a Boston Qualifier Marathon
Early start option: We are proud to announce a "early start” option for the marathon runners that need a little more time to finish and still be part of all the fun at the post race party. “Early Start” is at 6 am on race day; BUT you have to let us know ahead of time so that we can capture your bib number for the official timing stats. We will NOT have all of our water stations setup until about 6:30 am so you are on your own for water for the first 30 minutes. You must know the course if you want to use the early option
Weekend warriors / Beginners / walkers: Yes, very walker friendly course, gently rolling hills, plenty of water stations, and loads of fun! Generous 7:00 hour time limit for the marathon so take your time and enjoy the scenery, all levels of fitness are welcome at our events.
Middle of the pack runners: What a great way to start off your racing season. Now you can show off your finisher medal and race day t-shirt. This is the race for you and everyone you know.
Elite and Advanced runners: This gently rolling hills course is a great way to test your spring time speed! A perfect way to give yourself a holiday gift (a new PR) that you can cheer about all the way to new years.
That's right we are proud to announce that all runners will be awarded a free plate of street tacos at post-race expo! And yes, you can buy more plates of tacos for $8 each. Special note: Friends and family can buy food tickets for $8 each.
