(January 31, 2006 - Carmel, California) -The Big Sur International Marathon announced that most of the events for race weekend have completely sold out, with the exception of a few spaces left for Marathon registration and the NEWS 46 5K Run and Walk.

"The walk events are closed just weeks after registration is open online, "added Kastner.
