Running the “Ragged Edge of the Western World”: The 27th running of California’s Big Sur International Marathon — which has grown over the years to include five races, with a full marathon, 21-mile, 10.6-mile, 9-mile and 5K events — saw a variety of weather conditions and some strong headwinds for runners out on the course, especially on the rising turn famously known as Hurricane Point.
