The Big Sur International Marathon
Update to the 2012 21-Miler Event
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings!
First of all, welcome to the 2012 21-Miler! Whether you are a runner or walker, we hope you'll enjoy this spectacular course along the "ragged edge of the Western World."
 
As many may know, the landslide of March 2011 forced us to create an "out and back" course for last year's events.  Barring a slide repeat this winter or spring, the  2012 course will be the original point-to-point course from Andrew Molera State Park to the finish at Rio Road in Carmel.  Because the repairs to the slide area will take several years, this 100 foot area is still a one lane section currently controlled by traffic lights.  It is critical for the first northbound convoy (containing race officials, sweat buses, the start timing chip and families of runners staying in Big Sur) to be north of the slide area prior to the first runner arriving there.  This convoy leaves at approximately 7:20 AM from Big Sur.
 
In order to ensure that the convoy arrives prior to the runners, the 21-Miler will now began at 6:45 AM rather than 6:30 AM and the official course limit will go from 6 1/2 hours to 6 1/4 hours, as our permit necessitates the re-opening of Highway One at 1:00 PM.  This means maintaining a pace of 17.86 minutes per mile to complete the distance within this time frame.
 
We hope this 15 minute differential will not inconvenience anyone and we appreciate your understanding of the situation.  Please email us if you have any questions or concerns.
