RACE BENEFACTORS (formerly known as the Youth Fitness charity entry) – SOLD OUT!

When you participate in this program, your entry fee helps fund the work of the nonprofit Big Sur Marathon Foundation. Our mission is to enrich and empower our community through charitable giving and to inspire a passion for healthy lifestyles by creating memorable running experiences.

Since 1986, we’ve given back more than $6.7 million to the local community through our annual volunteer group donations, supporting schools, nonprofits, public safety, and environmental organizations throughout Monterey County and special projects like the Palo Corona cross country course.
