About the Santa Clarita Marathon

This Southern California community marathon is based at Heritage Park and shares the day with several shorter races. Its path-centered layout limits interaction with vehicle traffic.

Course

The certified route uses paved paseos, river paths, parks, and bridge crossings around Santa Clarita. It is mostly gentle, but repeated inclines become more noticeable late.

Race-day weather

November mornings are often cool and dry before the inland valley warms. Direct sun and low humidity can increase fluid needs even on a mild day.
