Santa Clarita Marathon 2027
The Santa Clarita Marathon takes place at Heritage Park along the Santa Clarita bike path in Santa Clarita, CA. The event includes multiple measured road race distances and a USATF-certified course that is stated as a Boston qualifier.
Race distances:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The marathon offers an early start option for runners who need additional time; participants using this option must notify organizers in advance, must know the course, and should plan to carry their own water for the first 60 minutes because some aid stations are not yet set up. The event uses cup-less water stations; runners may purchase a reusable cup for $3 at packet pickup or race day check-in.
The course is described as mostly flat with gentle rolling hills, with mile markers and volunteers at major turns and water stations. Porta potties are placed along the course at roughly 1.5 mile intervals and additional bathrooms are available at the park. The marathon has a generous 7:00 hour time limit and walkers, stroller users, and walking clubs are allowed.
Packet pickup occurs the day before the race at a local chiropractic office on Peachland Avenue and also at the starting area on race day. There is no race day registration. Awards include top 3 overall and top 3 age-group medals for each distance, plus team competition medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
