Just Run

In an effort to address the issues of youth obesity and diabetes, the Big Sur International Marathon has developed a program called JUST RUN Monterey County.  JUST RUN is a free program designed to assist schools and other youth organizations by providing vital youth fitness programs in Monterey County.  Geared towards promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles in grades 2 through 8, the program encourages physical activity and healthy eating habits as well as promoting good citizenship and family involvement.  Please visit justrun.org.

As a non-profit organization, the Big Sur International Marathon donates the proceeds from its running events to various local charities.  It is the contributions from the Big Sur Half Marathon that enabled the development of the JUST RUN program.  If you’d like to make a personal donation to this program as well, please indicate so when you register for the Half Marathon.  Thank you for your consideration.
