RACE WEEKEND INSTRUCTIONS
Your Race Weekend Instructions will be available online and emailed to all registrants by November 1st. Please read them carefully for information on the Expo, packet pick-up, race day parking, wave starts and more.
SOLD OUT...BUT OTHER OPTIONS ARE OUT THERE!
If you know of someone who was unable to register in time, there are other entry options. You can contact one of the charities using our event as a goal race and fundraise for them. Slots are also available from MultiSportTours.
FIRST TIMERS
A special congratulations to all first time Half Marathoners! We would like to 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.
TELL US YOUR STORY
Do you have a compelling reason for running this year's Half Marathon? We're looking for a few extraordinary stories to share with the media. Examples include having lost significant weight (60+ pounds) to do this, recovering from a severe accident or disease, getting engaged at the race, competing with your entire family, longest distance traveled, etc. Send your story (300 words or less) and a photo (optional) to julie@bsim.org by October 7.
STILL ROOM AT THE INNS
If you haven't yet made your hotel reservation for the weekend's events, we encourage you do do so soon. Several of the specially-priced room blocks on our travel page are filling up quickly and will expire in mid-October. In addition to accommodations in downtown Monterey, you might consider one of our on-course bed & breakfast inns in Pacific Grove, or enjoy a relaxing time in nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea. Our ARES book online link will provide you with a full list of hotels throughout the region.
FLY MONTEREY
If you are flying in for the Half Marathon, be sure to check out flights directly into the Monterey Airport (MRY). It's just five minutes from downtown Monterey! Next closest is the San Jose Airport, about 1 hour 15 minutes away. A shuttle service from both San Jose and San Francisco airports is available.
CANCELLATIONS
