Course Information:
We will see the 9th anniversary of this great meditative run through the hills and meadows of historic Camp Roberts Army National Guard Reservation in north San Luis Obispo County along the fertile Salinas River Valley. Marathon and half marathon to begin at 8:30 AM, 6:30 for walkers, 8:45 for 5k.
Starting at 750' above sea level the course goes out and back rising to 1250'; most of the climb between miles 4 and 6. It is quiet and serene with wildlife spectators, a flock of sheep, spectacular views, training and research sites, aid stations every 2 miles and porta potties every 3 miles. Revenue from Buzz Marathon helps fund the athletic programs at Lillian Larsen Elementary School of Kindergarten to 8th grade students. Larsen features cross country and track and field for all children, then flag football, volleyball, basketball, and golf for the middle schoolers grades 6 to 8.
Entry fees, tournament fees, referee costs, uniforms, equipment, physicals for 8th graders entering high school, and summer camp scholarships are the focus of this race.
