The Big Sur International Marathon
Congratulations to all our finishers!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings!

Whether you ran the marathon or 5K, or whether you walked the 10.6-Miler or were part of a relay team, we congratulate all our finishers on their accomplishment!  Mother Nature did indeed present some wild weather on race day, and Hurricane Point lived up to it's name and reputation.  Hopefully you were prepared for the challenges of this course, and the hills and wind served to make your achievement even more memorable.  If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to fill out our online Exit Poll.  Your input and comments are invaluable for improving and refining our events in future years.  We hope you'll be able to join us on April 25, 2010 when we'll be celebrating 25 years of the Big Sur International Marathon.

Some closing thoughts and comments...

  • Be sure to check out our 2009 Photo Gallery for some great race weekend photos of all events!  If you are looking for an individual photo to purchase, visit www.marathonfoto.com.  

  • If you won an award, but were not on hand to pick it up race day, we are in the process of mailing those out.  Because we are a non-profit, we would appreciate reimbursement of postage if you receive your award in the mail.

  • Sorry you didn't buy some Big Sur merchandise race weekend? It's not too late. Check out our merchandise page HERE.

  • For you marathoners who enjoy a challenge...in 2010 we'll be offering our "Boston 2 Big Sur" challenge for those crazy enough to take on 2 marathons on 2 coasts...only 6 days apart.  We will open registration to a limited number of runners (to be determined) on a first come, first served basis when we open marathon registration on September 1, 2009.  For updates and information, click HERE.
     
  • In 2010 we'll be returning to gender specific sizing for our event shirts due to popular demand!

  • Registration is now open for our Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay to be held on November 15, 2009.  This scenic course is run along the Monterey Bay and Pacific Grove coastline and offers all the beauty of our marathon, but without the hills.  For more info, visit www.bigsurhalfmarathon.org.

Again, thank you choosing Big Sur in 2009 and we hope to see you for our 25th in 2010!
