Various distances and elevation gains from 10K to full marathon.
***Includes 2 racing wheelchair accessible routes!
From the same crazy mind that brought you the 7 Bridges Over/Under Half Marathon (aka the Work Harder, Not Smarter Half Marathon).
Official start time is 7:45 am near the front of the USS Recruit in Liberty Station. The Cabrillo National Monument entrance is 5.8 miles away (with 580 ft elevation gain), but doesn’t open until 9:00 am. Plan your start time based on your ability so we can all enter the park together at 9:00 am.
For anyone willing to take on the full marathon distance, the entrance is at mile 14.9, so you will definitely want to start earlier.
Did I mention it's FREE? The run is free and entrance to Cabrillo National Monument is free July 5th!
Come celebrate with some road, some trails, some vert, some new and old friends, and a scenic course you won’t soon forget!
Self-supported. Water fountains and bathrooms available at Cabrillo National Monument.
Choose Your Own Adventure!!!
