°F Full forecast

The marathon is a double 13.1 mile loop that starts in Juilliard Park in downtown Santa Rosa. It is a flat, fast and accurate course that traverses the entire scenic Prince Memorial Greenway. Although the course is accurate to the nano-inch, it is not yet Boston Qualified beca...use several miles are hardpacked shale, which makes it very difficult to get USATF certification. It is anticipated this area will be paved after the race and easier to obtain certification next year. The half marathon starts at the same location and completes one loop. Computer chip timing will be used. Results will be posted after the event. After finishing the chip will be retrieved by a race volunteer. All marathon and half marathon runners will receive a quality wicking fabric T-shirt and a custom finisher medal. The T-Shirts will be handed out at the Health and Fitness Expo and the finisher medal will be presented to each runner as they cross the finish line. read more
