Buzz Marathon

23rd annual meditative and serene run and is a Boston Qualifier (among others) as well as part of Series Runner. All races are run on the grounds of historic Camp Roberts Army National Guard Reservation, just north of San Miguel, California. Out-and-back course on paved road with dirt and packed gravel shoulders. Flat to gentle rolling hills, with breathtaking views of oak-studded hillsides, Salinas and Nacimiento Rivers and abundant Central Coast wildlife. Some compare course to a trail run. Start line is at 620' at crosswalk in front of sports arena (gym) and rises to 945' at the marathon turn-around spot. You will truly enjoy this event!

 COURSE ( #CA pending)  We have been able to return to the course that begins at the gymnasium which will be our headquarters. That means showers will also be available (bring your own towel) after race for your comfort.
