2020 has been a crazy year for us all! We didn't know if we would be able to have the 2021 Big Beach Marathon, and have had to make changes to do so. We are limiting the size of groups and must enforce social distancing. The race will be run in waves of 100 every 15 minutes starting at 7:30 AM. Also, we have made course changes for 2021. We will start across Beach Blvd from the Hangout to facilitate the wave starts. The marathon course will be a double loop of the half course to simply logistics and reduce the number of volunteers and physical aid stations needed.
Our choice was to cancel the race or do things a bit differently. The health and safety of our runners, volunteers, and staff are more important than the perfect race. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated in these trying times.
