2026 Big sur international marathon
Join us for FIT’s inaugural trip to the picturesque coast of California for the Big Sur International Marathon. This point-to-point course down Highway 1 winds from Big Sur down to Carmel, cruising past redwoods, alongside ranches, and over the famed Bixby Bridge where a pianist waits to serenade runners crossing this iconic mid-course mark. From stunning ocean views to rural rolling hills and eclectic entertainment (think belly dancers!), Big Sur is a race unlike any other - it’s no wonder it always sells out! Join us for a fantastic West Coast weekend and experience the magic yourself!
