Big Sur Marathon Foundation

About Us

The Big Sur Marathon Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to building a healthier community through access to fitness opportunities, with a special focus on running. Our two signature race weekends are the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts: the world-renowned Big Sur International Marathon each April, featuring the 26.2-mile marathon, marathon relay, 21-Miler, 11-Miler, 12K, and 5K; and the Monterey Bay Half Marathon each November, along with the Pacific Grove Lighthouse 5K and By-the-Bay 3K. Proceeds from these events fuel our year-round youth fitness programs, volunteer engagement, and community grants, ensuring that we are more than just a race, we are a partner in inspiring active, healthy lives.
