About the course.

Designed to be a course with some hills in it — and to take runners in a northward direction toward the hilly northern sections of the city — the race takes runners by many of San Antonio’s most popular sights.

The race begins near the city’s Henry Gonzalez Convention Center, along Market Street, and then the course heads southwest briefly through downtown San Antonio, weaving through Dolorosa, Flores Street, La Trinidad Street, and East Travis Street (just a block away from the famed Alamo site).

After the first three miles, the course then heads north for the middle portion and a modest uphill climb toward Brackenridge Park, San Antonio’s largest park.

After completing the stretch of the course around the park, runners turn onto Broadway Street, where they run a straightaway for nearly two miles before making a few turns near Lockwood and Dignowity Parks before continuing south down Cherry Street.

Full marathoners continue further south down Cherry Street and into the southern (and flatter) part of the city.

The half-marathoners are almost home, however, and have only two miles more to go to the finish. After the turn on Cherry, half marathoners continue for about half a mile before turning right onto Montana Street. There, runners past the Alamodome before crossing the finish line at the Tower of Americas.

In addition to the full marathon and half marathon for individual runners, the race also hosts a two-person relay for the half marathon, for men’s, women’s and coed teams.


California International Marathon

Sunday December 7th, 2025
Sacramento, CA
Distance: Marathon
Offical Race Web Site

The California International Marathon (CIM) is a marathon organized by runners, for runners! CIM was founded in 1983 by the Sacramento Running Association (SRA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The SRA Board of Directors is comprised of runners with a combined total of 150+ years of service to the CIM.

The same route SRA management created for the 1983 inaugural CIM will take you through rural countryside, then through the towns of Orangevale, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks and Carmichael and finally, under a canopy of trees in full fall colors, into the city of Sacramento for the State Capitol finish. Even though the course has remained the same, the race has grown into a true international event.

CIM has a gently rolling, point-to-point, net downhill course with well maintained streets and few turns. The CIM start is at a 366 ft. elevation and its finish at a 26 ft. elevation.

CIM has steadily grown in numbers from a field of 1,600 runners in 1983 to a race that now fills to a capacity of more than 9,000 marathoners. Over the years, the SRA has added a four-person relay (over 1,000 teams now compete) and a 2.62-mile maraFUNrun held in the spirit of fitness and fun for 2,000 participants. Both of these events are a component of SRA’s mission to expose people of all ages to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through running.

The SRA Board of Directors, race management and volunteers work thousands of hours year-round to ensure that all runners have the best marathon experience possible, whether you are an experienced elite racer, mid-packer or are running for your first marathon finisher’s medallion. We look forward to seeing you in December!

Welcome!

I've run this marathon twice, and they offer a relay which I've run 3 times. For the most part this course is flat & fast. The aid stations are what you should expect from a marathon, the start & finish are very well organized, and it's a small enough field of runners that you don't have a slow-down at the start in finding your pace. Weather is always a toss-up but directors can't control that.

Antarctic Ice Marathon

Saturday December 13th, 2025
South Pole, Antarctica
Distance: Marathon · 100k · Ultra
Offical Race Web Site

The Antarctic Ice Marathon is one of the world's most extreme endurance races, taking place on the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. Held annually at the Union Glacier camp in Antarctica, this race is run over the standard 42.195 km (26.2 miles) marathon distance, challenging participants with sub-zero temperatures, strong winds, and an altitude of approximately 700 meters (2,300 feet) above sea level. The race route is set against a breathtaking, pristine polar landscape, providing runners with an unparalleled adventure in one of the most remote locations on the planet.

The event features an individual competition with male and female divisions, where athletes from around the globe test their physical and mental resilience against the harsh Antarctic conditions. Competitors must contend with an uneven snow and ice surface, requiring specialized gear, including insulated running shoes, multiple layers of thermal clothing, and face protection to guard against frostbite.

For those seeking a shorter but equally formidable challenge, the Frozen Continent Half Marathon is run concurrently with the marathon, covering 21.1 km (13.1 miles). Like the full marathon, this event demands exceptional endurance and determination, as runners navigate the icy terrain and battle the elements.

The Antarctic Ice Marathon is not only a test of athletic ability but also a bucket-list adventure for extreme sports enthusiasts, marathon collectors, and those striving to complete marathons on all seven continents. The race is officially recognized as the southernmost marathon on Earth, providing an extraordinary opportunity to run in a location few people ever visit.

Participants must undergo careful preparation and acclimatization before embarking on this unique race, with organizers offering logistical support, safety briefings, and guidance on essential cold-weather running techniques. Due to the remote nature of the event, entry slots are limited, and competitors must adhere to strict environmental and safety protocols.

Whether conquering the full marathon or the half marathon, those who take on the Antarctic Ice Marathon join an exclusive group of endurance athletes who have raced at the bottom of the world.
