About the race
Situated in Humboldt Redwoods State Park along the Avenue of the Giants in rural Northern California, the Avenue of the Giants Marathon offers marathon, half-marathon, and 10K distances. The USATF-certified course is a paved, double out-and-back that winds through old-growth redwoods and follows a natural creek, with mostly flat, fast sections and shade from towering trees. The marathon is a Boston Qualifier.
The event emphasizes an independently green organization with a community atmosphere, including finisher medals, age-group awards, and a spaghetti feed. Note: tall trees can block GPS signals during the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
