Designed for all ages and paces, the Sunrise Marathon provides a uniquely stress-free and supportive environment, differentiating itself from larger competitive events. This is a smaller, private group run with a cap per wave, ensuring a warm and intimate community atmosphere. Timing is optional, allowing participants to use their preferred tracking apps and submit results online, freeing them from the pressure of traditional timing chips. Coordinators are present to support runners throughout the experience.

Participants will receive a fantastic swag bag, which includes a premium running shirt shipped directly to their address, eliminating the need for packet pickup, and a coveted finisher's medal upon completion. After crossing the finish line, runners are greeted with a special star pin and tasty snacks. Given its popularity, waves for this scenic and welcoming race often sell out quickly, so early registration is highly recommended to secure a spot.
