April 26, 2009
The Big Sur International Marathon and its ancillary events are on track to sell out within a month. The affected April 26 events include the full marathon, marathon relay, and the 21 and 10.6 milers. The additional 9-Miler, PA/USATF 5K course, and Saturday’s JUST RUN! Just Kids 3K will remain open for registration through race weekend.
The popular 10.6-Miler has already sold out and the 21-Miler is 95% full. Relay teams for the full marathon are ahead of last year’s registration and the full marathon is nearly 70% full.
“Despite tough economic times, individuals are looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle and challenge themselves,” said Wally Kastner, race director for the Big Sur International Marathon. “We expect to sell out the marathon sometime in February, similar to last year.”
Ryan Lamppa, Running USA Media Director, notes that there doesn’t appear to be a downturn in running interest or race participation. Road races in 2008 experienced a 6% increase in finishers from 2007, and several early 2009 races including the PF Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in Phoenix, AZ and the Chevron Houston Marathon are either up or sold out.
The Big Sur International Marathon and its related events draw approximately 12,000 participants from throughout the United States and internationally. Last year all 50 states and 21 additional countries were represented.
