Event Description

An AMAZING Place to Run!

The Humboldt Bay Area combines spectacular scenery with the perfect climate for year round running.

August is a dry month with an average high temperature of only 62.6 degrees (17 Celsius), so ideal conditions for this race are almost guaranteed.

Whether you are trying for a Boston qualifying time (marathon course certification CA-16003-KY), striving for another personal record, or just looking for a uniquely beautiful place to run, the Humboldt Bay Marathon, Half Marathon and Marina Mile races are exactly what you're looking for!
