The Catalina Island Marathon, 10K, and 5K are annual races held on the scenic Catalina Island, located just off the coast of Southern California. The marathon is a challenging race that covers a hilly, 26.2-mile course with stunning ocean views, offering a true test for seasoned runners. For those seeking a less demanding yet still breathtaking experience, the 10K race winds along the island’s beautiful coastline, and the 5K race provides an ideal option for families, beginners, or anyone looking for a fun and accessible challenge. All three races showcase the island's rugged landscapes, with participants enjoying incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, wildlife, and picturesque coves. This event is not only a great athletic challenge but also an opportunity to explore the island's unique charm and natural beauty.
