2027 Big Sur International Marathon - Apr 25

A bucket-list scenic point-to-point from Big Sur to Carmel along Highway 1, fully closed to traffic on race morning. The signature 2-mile climb to Hurricane Point (miles 10-12) and the Bixby Bridge at the halfway mark are the centerpiece; +2,182 ft of total climbing on a net-downhill route. It is an official Boston qualifier course, but entry is by random drawing — not a qualifying time — so you come for the coastline, not a PR. +665m elevation
