Already have a bib and want to run as an Honorary Champion? Choose “Non-Allotted Fundraiser” to join the team.
The Big Sur International Marathon is a destination race like no other. Whether you are running 26.2 or the 11-miler up the California coast, you will see what makes this tiny community so unique. Towering redwoods, crashing waves, coastal mountains, and verdant pastures are featured on this bucket list course.
