Book your stay now!April 30, 2023 Start Time : 6:35 a.m. The Big Sur International Marathon is a very popular race. With beautifully spectacular scenery all along the route it is no surprise that it sells out quickly every year. There are other races taking place during the same weekend, including the By-the-Bay 3K, 11-miler, 21-miler and marathon relay. Big Sur International Marathon Route Big Sur International Marathon Entry Further Information September 2023 • Big Sur, CA • Course MapThe Big Sur Trail Marathon, Half Marathon & 5-Mile race is run along Old Coast Road, the first of its kind that connected the towns of Monterey and Big Sur before the road now known as Highway 1 was built. Challenging and hilly. Like the road on which it is run, this race is challenging and hilly, with long, steep climbs and descents as well as spectacular scenery throughout the entire race. And if you’ve ever been to or driven through Big Sur, you know how impressive that scenery is — breathtaking views from craggy bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, as well as trails that wind through sun-dappled redwood and oak grove forests and across bridges overlooking the rocks crashing against the shore. Runners see all of this along the course starting from the race start line at Andrew Molera State Park, which lies just off Highway 1 (Cabrillo Highway) near the Big Sur River. From there, the course begins a long, winding route northward along Old Coast Road, climbing in elevation from about 200 feet above sea level to just above 1,000 feet above sea level between mile markers 2 and 3. Runners then get something of a reprieve from the steep climb with a long, steady descent between miles 3 and 4. Big hills around the race midpoint. Then the really challenging uphill starts just after the 5-mile marker, continuing all the way to the half-way point, where runners will reach a peak just above 1,200 feet above sea level. After that, the field turns around and heads back down Old Coast Road along the course they’ve just run, all the way back to the finish line at the park. One of California’s smaller running events, the race is limited to 300 entrants and usually sells out every year. Runners are encouraged to carry either a water bottle or a hydration pack with them to ensure they have plenty of water between aid stations and have a 6.5-hour time limit to complete the race.

Is 3 months enough time to train for a halfMost newbie runners can get half-marathon ready in 3-4 months ; if you have already been jogging, run/walking, or completed shorter distance events like a 5k or 10k, you can likely get ready in 3 months (12 weeks).
Is the Big Sur Marathon worth it?Race Management
Big Sur is without a doubt the most beautiful, scenic race I've ever run, but also the most challenging. Everyone said to train for the hills, but I definitely underestimated how many there were, how steep and long they would be, and the road camber.
