About the Marin Marathon
The Marin County Marathon (Half and 10K) will all be gorgeous routes through the County of Marin, China Camp State Park and parts of the City of San Rafael.

All courses start and and end at McNear's Beach County Park in San Rafael, which is also home to the Kids Races and the Expo at the Beach.

At each aid station along all of the courses on race day, there will be clean, refreshing water provided by US Pure Water and HEED Sports Drink from Hammer Nutrition. These will be served in fully biodegradable and compostable cups made from corn grown in the USA.

All courses are part road, part trail and travel along the waters of San Pablo Bay, amongst a serene setting, just a part that makes Marin County so beautiful. Additionally, crowd support and entertainment along the course, and many helpful volunteers, will elevate this event to be so very special.

These courses mirror the bike and run portions of the
Marin County Triathlon (www.marintriathlon.com)

Please stay tuned as we develop what will become an amazing event to be a part of.
