This weekend the Big Sur International Marathon graces the Monterey Peninsula! The race begins Sunday, April 28th at 6:45 AM and spans from Big Sur to Carmel on scenic Highway 1. The official slogan of the marathon is “Running on the Ragged Edge of the Western World” and we hope you have an opportunity to participate, cheer on a runner, or enjoy the spectacular landscape we are fortunate to live in. Please note traffic delays and road closures throughout the day on Sunday and visit www.bigsurmarathon.org for more information.
