Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge
|
2 Marathons...2 coasts...6 days
Only the fittest (or craziest!) ever attempt back-to-back marathons...much less 3,000 miles apart. In 2010 the Big Sur International Marathon will be honoring those runners willing to accept the challenge in celebration of Big Sur's 25th presentation. |

We are proud to announce that Dean Karnazes, the Ultramarathon Man best known for running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, will be the Official Host of the Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge. He'll be running with you at both events, and will be available at our Expo to chat with everyone, as well as sign copies of his best-selling books and DVDs. |

| Challenge rules include: |
- If you sign up for the challenge, you must either qualify to run Boston in 2010 (unless already qualified) or register through Boston's charity program (click HERE for more info on this) We will contact all participants early in 2010 to make sure everyone is, in fact, entered for Boston. If you are unable to register for Boston, we will reissue you a regular Big Sur bib number and your B2B slot will be come available to someone else.
- When you come to pick up your Big Sur packet you must also present proof of having finished Boston in 2010 (print out your finish information from Boston's online results). If you cannot show proof of finishing you will be issued a regular Big Sur bib and will not be eligible for the jacket or access to the B2B finish tent.
- If you register for B2B, but are unable to qualify for Boston, and do not choose to run Big Sur, we will roll over your registration to 2011. Other types of cancellations will be looked at on a case by case basis.
