Sombrero Marathon 2027
Sombrero Marathon is a road running event in Santa Clarita held on May 2, 2027. The race celebrates the history of the sombrero and notes that the word comes from Spanish "sombra" meaning shade or shadow, with origins in Spain as far back as the 17th century. The event materials also reference the Mexican hat dance Jarabe tapatío.
The event offers multiple race distances and published entry fees:
- Marathon : entry $145 (USD)
- Half Marathon : entry $115 (USD)
- 10K : entry $75 (USD)
- 5K : entry $55 (USD)
The course starts and finishes at Heritage Park, 4155 Newhall Ranch Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91355. The route is a USATF certified course (CA23032TEB) and is listed as a Boston qualifier. The organizers note there is no auto traffic on the course, mile markers are present, and volunteers will staff major turns and water stations.
Facilities and race day details described in the event information include porta potties roughly every 1.5 miles, a generous seven hour marathon time limit, and a "cup-less" water station system so disposable cups are not provided. A reusable cup is available for purchase for $3 at packet pickup or race day check-in. Packet pickup is scheduled the Saturday before the race from 10 am - 2 pm at a local Santa Clarita address. Post-race provisions include a plate of street tacos and event swag such as a finisher medal, a premium sublimated shirt, and a reusable tote bag.
