The Surfers Point Marathon is a race that leaves a lasting imprint, whether you're drawn by the beauty of the coastal scenery or the joy of crossing the finish line. For many runners, this event is more than just miles on a course—it's a journey shaped by the cool morning breeze, the sound of waves crashing nearby, and the unwavering spirit of those around them. With a route that winds along the beachfront, it offers moments of reflection and exhilaration in equal measure.

Some runners found inspiration in the ocean views and rolling surf, while others were powered forward by the camaraderie of fellow participants, the encouraging cheers of spectators, and the smiles at each aid station. From the first step on the bike path to the finish line celebration with tacos and beer, the Surfers Point Marathon is a tapestry of experiences—each as unique as the runners themselves.

There are tales of unexpected challenges, from warmer-than-expected temperatures to narrow stretches of the boardwalk, but every runner finds their stride, carried forward by the motivation that first brought them to the start line. Whether it's the joy of a personal best or the simple pride of finishing, every runner's story is a testament to their determination and love for the sport.

Early start option: 

We are proud to announce a “marathon early start” option for the full marathon runners that need a little more time to finish and still be part of all the fun at the post race party. “Early Start” is at 6 am on race day; BUT you have to let us know ahead of time so that we can capture your bib number for the official timing stats. We will NOT have all of our water stations setup until about 6:30 am so you are on your own for water for the first 30 minutes. You must know the course (out and back course) if you want to use the early option
