SOCAL River Marathon

The SOCAL River Marathon, held in Southern California, offers four race distances: Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K. The course runs along the scenic Santa Ana River Trail, starting in Yorba Linda and finishing at Huntington Beach State Park. This route showcases diverse Southern California landscapes, from dry desert areas near Disneyland to the coastal beach environment.

The mostly flat and straight course features a gradual downhill slope following the river toward the ocean, making it a great option for runners seeking a Boston Marathon qualifier. The event also includes virtual race options and exclusive pacer races by invitation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
