The race starts at Yaquina Bay State Park west of Highway 101 at the mouth of the Bay and finishes across the street from Race Headquarters at the Embarcadero Resort Hotel. It really is. Almost half of our finishers record P.R.'s. About every two miles. Our aid stations are sponsored by business and community groups and are staffed by enthusiastic, supportive people.
Marathoners love our aid crews.
In 2000, that number climbed to 600. We had registrations from 34 states, Canada, and Europe. You can drive, walk or take a shuttle bus. If you drive you may not park within the borders of the Park itself. Its drop-off only.
