The Big Run 5K - Monterey
The Big Run is a structured running and walking event held in honor of Global Running Day. The race takes place in Monterey, California, and features a single distance for participants:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
The course is set on the Monterey Rec Trail, with the starting line positioned adjacent to the Monterey Beach Station. Participants can find parking available next to the course. The event is open to runners and walkers of various experience levels, and there is no specified qualification requirement for registration.
Packet pickup is available the day prior to the event at a local running store in Monterey or on the morning of the race near the start line. Participants are permitted to collect bibs for friends and family members. While registration is available on the morning of the race, early packet pickup is encouraged by the organizers for efficiency.
The event includes a recognition ceremony for age group prizes, which takes place at the store location following the completion of the run. Participants have the option to purchase a race shirt during the registration process. Special pricing is offered for military members and student-athletes.
