Scenic Course: The Avenue of the Giants is one of the most beautiful races in the world! It runs through old growth redwoods and follows a natural creek in the middle of a state park.
Location: Staged on "The Avenue of the Giants" in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, located in rural Northern California.
Course Details: The course is on a paved road that winds gently uphill but is mostly a flat, fast destination race.
Inspiration: With little to distract you, the tall trees inspire the athlete in each of us to be strong. The course is certified and the marathon is a Boston Qualifying event.
Nearby Event: Please consider the race's sister race the Humboldt Redwoods Marathon which is on the same course, produced by the same running club, and takes place the second weekend in October:
