With race day only a month away, here are some things you need to know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Race Weekend Instructions will be available online at www.bsim.org on March 31. Look for the link on the homepage or in the "Spotlight" section. They contain all the details you need to know about buses, packet pickup, post event shuttles and the weekend schedule. Please take the time to read them thoroughly. If you still have questions take a look at the FAQ section on our website.
- Postcards have been mailed to all registered individuals and relay team captains. This card shows your bib number and we are asking you to bring it to the Expo for bib and packet pick-up. Let us know if you don't receive it, we will send a replacement.
- If you are unable to participate this year, be sure to read the cancellation policy (located under Event Information - Marathon) on the website. Remember, Big Sur is a 501(c)3 non-profit; if you can't participate you can take the amount of your entry fee as a charitable donation on your income tax return. Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to another person.
- If you are unable to pick up your bib, chip and race packet at the Expo, you can designate a friend to do so for you. Give them a letter of authorization and photocopy of your driver's license or other photo ID along with your bib postcard and they can pick up for you. People who claimed the military discount will need to show their Active Military ID.
- April 15 is the last day of pre-registration for the 5K, 3K and Relay team members. There will be race weekend registration for these events at the Expo. All other events are SOLD OUT.
- Boston 2 Big Sur participants...good luck at Boston! Be sure to bring proof of your finish to pick up your Big Sur Marathon bib. Print out a copy of the online results and bring to packet pick-up.
