SOCAL River Marathon

The SOCAL River Marathon is a multi-distance running event held in Southern California, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K races. The course starts in Yorba Linda and finishes at Huntington Beach State Park, following the scenic Santa Ana River Trail. Runners experience a primarily flat and straight route with a gradual downhill slope toward the ocean, passing diverse landscapes from desert-like areas near Disneyland to the beach.

The course was recently cleared of homeless encampments and is unfenced at night. The event offers both in-person and virtual race options, with finisher medals and a vibrant Southern California atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
