The Big Sur International Marathon is a point-to-point course run on scenic CA Highway 1 from Big Sur to Carmel the last Sunday each April. Towering redwoods, crashing waves, coastal mountains and verdant pastures are featured on this bucket list course. The centerpiece of the course is the iconic Bixby Bridge, located at the halfway point of the race, where you’ll enjoy the unique site and sound of a tuxedo-wearing concert pianist playing a Yamaha Baby Grand piano.
All team members are eligible to participate in our FundRacing incentive program and receive Back on My Feet-branded gear - a tech t-shirt when you reach your first $100 raised, and one additional item of your choice based on where you finish fundraising.
**Please note that Back on My Feet does not cover travel expenses to and from the race. We strongly recommend using the race’s official travel partners for making travel reservations.
