Welcome all Runners & Walkers!

Greetings!

With the Big Sur Half Marathon less than a month away, we would like to officially welcome and thank you for choosing one of the weekend's three events.


Of primary importance is our Race Weekend Instructions which will be emailed to you and posted on the Half Marathon website by November 1. Please be sure to read these carefully for information on parking, corrals, packet pick-up, the Expo and more.

A special congratulations to all our first time Half Marathoners! We will recognize your commitment by printing your name on your bib in RED.  This will allow us and others to congratulate you on race day for having achieved your goal.
