About

The Carlsbad Marathon runs along the Pacific Ocean in Carlsbad, California. Three road distances are offered: a 5K, a half marathon (13.1 miles), and a full marathon (26.2 miles). The course tracks the coastline for much of the route, giving runners ocean views as they make their way through this Southern California beach town. With three distance options, the race suits everyone from casual 5K runners to marathoners tackling the full 26.2 miles along the water. It's a straightforward coastal course, prized as much for its scenery as for the racing itself.
