Santa Clarita Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K

Saturday, November 10, 2024 • Santa Clarita, CA • Course Map

The journey begins and ends at the picturesque Heritage Park, nestled along the tranquil Santa Clarita bike path at 24155 Newhall Ranch Road in Santa Clarita, CA 91355. It’s a runner’s paradise, free from the hustle and bustle of auto traffic. But that’s just the beginning of the adventure that awaits.

Excitingly, our marathon runners have an “early start” option, a chance to savor the race at their own pace. Starting at 6 am on race day, this option allows those who require a bit more time to capture their bib number for official timing stats. However, the early birds must be prepared to manage their own water supply for the first 30 minutes, as our water stations won’t be fully operational until around 6:30 am. Knowing the course is essential if you want to make the most of this early opportunity.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a beginner, or a leisurely walker, this event caters to all fitness levels. The course is incredibly walker-friendly, predominantly flat, and features ample water stations. With a generous 7-hour time limit for the marathon, you can take your time and soak in the scenic beauty. Our events welcome runners of all levels, ensuring everyone enjoys their experience.

For the middle-of-the-pack runners, this is the perfect opportunity to bask in holiday glory. Your finisher medal and race day tech t-shirt will be the envy of your friends. This race is the one you and your loved ones won’t want to miss.

Elite and advanced runners, this is where you can test your winter-time speed on gently rolling hills. It’s a chance to gift yourself a new personal record and carry that achievement as a beacon of pride into the new year.

All runners, regardless of their pace, will be rewarded with a finisher medal, a race day athlete tech t-shirt, and a reusable goody bag to keep the memories alive. And let’s not forget the post-race street tacos – the perfect treat to refuel and savor the success.

The thrill doesn’t end with the race itself. Awards await the top three overall male and female runners in each race, along with the top three in each age group, regardless of the race distance chosen. It’s a celebration of achievement, camaraderie, and the joy of running. Join us and make your mark on this incredible journey.

    Hi. I was invited by a friend who just ran in the latest marathon event. It’s April, 2017. Is there another event coming up soon? I wish to sign up to participate. This is the only contact source I have found.

    Thanks for sending info.
