COURSE TIME LIMIT  

PLEASE READ THIS. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT.

IT APPLIES TO BOTH BIG SUR MARATHON AND BOSTON TO BIG SUR - B2B

 

To help you have the best experience possible race day, we need to make sure you understand our marathon course time limit and rules.

 

Six Hour Time Limit

While it took millions of years for wind and water to carve the California coastline, you only have six hours to run between Big Sur and Carmel. A six-hour pace is the hard and fast, we-really-mean-it time limit (13:45 minutes-per-mile). Please keep in mind that this road is the only access for a 90-mile stretch of the central California coastline. Our permit requires us to reopen the road on time at 1 PM for resident, business, and tourist access.

 

B2B - Boston to Big Sur 

 

To qualify for the Big Sur Marathon B2B Challenge category, you must also be an official entrant in the April 2025 Boston Marathon. You can register for Boston either through your qualifying time, through one of their charity programs, or by invitation. View the Boston Marathon website for all details about registration for the Boston Marathon. There is no official connection between your Boston Marathon registration and the Big Sur Marathon B2B program. B2B registration fees do not cover your Boston entry.

 

NOTE: If you are registered for B2B and Boston, but do not start or finish at Boston, you are no longer eligible for the B2B Challenge medallion or finisher jacket.
