California

Southern California's coastal races run heaviest in fall and winter, led by the ASICS Los Angeles Marathon (established 1986, 25,000+ runners) each March. Northern California brings the California International Marathon, a net-downhill Boston-qualifying course from Folsom into Sacramento each December, and the San Francisco Marathon over the Golden Gate Bridge. Farther afield, the Humboldt Redwoods Marathon and Half Marathon run among old-growth redwoods on the Avenue of the Giants, and IRONMAN California brings a full-distance triathlon to Sacramento.
