Here's a directory of marathons and half marathons in California. Run here and run well !
NOTE - We've added two new events and there are two schedule changes. The Big Bear Marathon (with half/Bike tour/Kid's Run) will be held 09.06.08.
Only 6,000 feet up! Should be a snap. Big Bear is home to Ryan Hall, the American Olympic hopeful. Then on Nov. 16, 2008, the Pasadena Marathon will have its inaugural run (it
also has half, bike, and a community walk-run). Two new SOCAL events and they should both be great! ALSO NOTE: The SoCal Half Marathon is now a JANUARY event (was Dec) and the Orange County Marathon is scheduled for MAY (was January)!
