The Santa Rosa Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K take place on August 23. Currently, less than 300 spots remain for the full marathon, and less than 100 for the half marathon. The full and half marathons begin in Downtown Santa Rosa, continue along Prince Memorial Highway (where the half marathoners will loop back to the beginning of the course), through West Sonoma County, and even through De Loach Vineyards! All full and half marathon runners will receive a medal, a custom bottle of "Runner's Red" wine from De Loach Vineyards and a hooded jacket for their training and effort! The full marathon begins at 6 a.m. and the half starts at 7 a.m.
If you haven't been training to run a long-distance race, consider participating in the 5K. The 5K course begins by Juilliard Park and continues through Downtown Santa Rosa. All 5K finishers will receive a custom wicking shirt. The 5K begins at 8 a.m.
Race day is not the only day for marathon activities! In the two days leading up to the race, the public has the opportunity to attend the race expo. Not only will participants be able to pick up their packets, but they can partake in demonstrations, product samples and more. After the race, head to Juilliard Park for the Post-Race Festival, which includes a pancake breakfast, beer/wine garden, farmers market and more!
If running really isn't your strong suit, volunteers are needed too! Help is needed in areas such as registration, bag check, set-up/tear-down, and more! To view a complete list of volunteer opportunities and to sign up, click here.
Packet pick up and commuting downtown on race day should be a snap from your apartment home at Annadel! The drive from our community to Julliard Park is only 10 minutes, which should make getting up bright and early on race day just a tad more bearable!
