2026 Big sur international marathon
FIT is excited to announce our collaboration with the Big Sur International Marathon as the Runner Experience Partner. Join us for FIT’s inaugural trip to the picturesque coast of California for the Big Sur International Marathon. This point-to-point course down Highway 1 winds from Big Sur down to Carmel, cruising past redwoods, alongside the Pacific Ocean and over the famed Bixby Bridge where a pianist waits to serenade runners crossing this iconic mid-course mark. From stunning ocean views to rural rolling hills and eclectic entertainment (think grand piano experiences), the Big Sur International Marathon is a race unlike any other - it’s no wonder it always sells out. Join us for a fantastic West Coast weekend and experience the magic of this race yourself!
