Welcome to the 10th Presentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| Greetings!
Welcome to the 10th Presentation of the Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay. The past ten years have gone by fast, and our event has continued to grow and prosper. We thank you for choosing our race and we are working hard to ensure that your race experience will be a memorable one.
In honor of our 10th, we have lots of fun things in store for our participants. At the Expo, all half marathon runners will receive a free commemorative poster, and on Saturday there will be free race clinics with some great speakers lined up. On race day, the Clif Bar Pace Team will be on hand to help you reach your half marathon goal. At the finish, we've added chocolate milk to our food line-up, as well as two new brands of beer in addition to our Michelob Ultra. We'll also be offering a downloadable, printable finisher's certificate after the race.
Some important things to note...
- We will be emailing Race Weekend Instructions by November 1 and also posting them on the half marathon website. Lots of important information here, as well as maps of parking, the start and the finish for the Half Marathon, 5K and 3K. Be sure to read them carefully.
- The Half Marathon is sold out, but there are still slots available with charities using our event as a goal race. Multi Sport Tours also has a combined event and lodging package.
- Pre-registration for all events will end at midnight on Friday, November 9. Registration for the 5K and 3K will reopen at the Expo on Friday, November 16, and race morning.
- ASICS has teamed with Wear Your Number to provide the opportunity to have your official bib printed right on an ASICS shirt. These can be pre-ordered right now! To learn more, click HERE.
- Be sure to download our mobile app for iPhone and Android. The app contains detailed information about race weekend along with maps, schedules and race day runner tracking. Search iTunes or the Play Store for "Big Sur Marathon" or "Big Sur Events".
We'll be sending our several more of these emails prior to race weekend, so be sure to read them for any updated or new information. The Big Sur Half Marathon Team |
