Big Sur 5k

The Big Sur Marathon follows the most beautiful coastline in the world -- and, for runners, one of the most challenging. The athletes who participate may draw inspiration from the spectacular views, but it takes major discipline to conquer the hills of Highway One on the way to the finish line. Named "Best Marathon in North America" by The Ultimate Guide to Marathons, the Big Sur International Marathon continues to sell out earlier and earlier each year and, as a major destination marathon, draws entrants from all over the world.

Course Description

The 5K begins and ends at Marathon Village, located at Highway 1 and Rio Road adjacent to the Crossroads Shopping Center, Carmel. 

The Big Sur 5K is a member of the PA/USATF Road Grand Prix. AWARD WINNERS MUST BE PACIFIC ASSOCIATION USATF MEMBERS.  PRIZE MONEY IS AWARDED TO PACIFIC ASSOCIATION MEMBERS ONLY.  Their will be a $3,000 PA/USATF Champion prize purse awarded.  Grand Prix divisions contested include the following male and female categories:

Recommended by: Michael Anderson
“"The Big Sur to Carmel run literally takes your breath away. It's no surprise that this stretch of Highway One along California's Pacific Coast was the nation's first nationally designated Scenic Highway," Michael Anderson.”
