About the Big Sur International Marathon

Runners rave about the “insanely beautiful” point-to-point course with its soaring redwoods and rugged coastline, while distinctive touches like taiko drummers (mile 10), a tuxedo-clad pianist on the iconic Bixby Bridge (mile 13) and creative mile markers heighten the allure of Running on the Ragged Edge of the Western World.

Due to the race’s small field size and outsized popularity, the marathon is limited to 4,500 total qualified entrants (must be 16 years or older, in good health, and well-trained). Big Sur International Marathon is a challenging course with a strict 6-hour cut-off time (13:45 per-mile pace). Big Sur International Marathon is USATF certified and is an official Boston qualifier.

Runners who need an entry can guarantee their spot in the race by registering as a Girls on the Run SoleMate and meeting the fundraising goal.
