Last Call for the Point Mariah Trail Marathon!

It's not to late to sign up for the Point Mariah Trail Marathon coming up this weekend on Saturday, August 6th! Run it yourself, split it up with a partner, or create a team of five. We’ve designed a very unique course that breaks the marathon into five segments, with a single aid station runners will pass through four times as the fun, boisterous centerpiece. This race features a generous cutoff too!

And if you aren't running please sign up to volunteer- we need you!
