Volunteers

Big Sur Marathon Foundation events are presented with the help of nearly 100 Monterey County nonprofit groups supplying approximately 2500 volunteers from throughout the community. Since our first race in 1986, the nonprofit Big Sur Marathon Foundation has donated over $6.7 million to our volunteer teams and related local organizations.

Thank you so much for volunteering for the Big Sur International Marathon. Without your wonderful help, time and enthusiasm this incredible community event could not take place. In order to commemorate your hours of contribution to the marathon you will receive a cool T-shirt and if affiliated with a volunteer group will generate funds for your respective charity.
