2020 Races Postponed

to August 2021

We are very sad to have to announce the postponement of this year's event. Due to restrictions imposed by state and local health authorities, there will be no Humboldt Bay Marathon events in August of 2020. We are rescheduling this year's event to August of 2021, and all registrants for 2020 are already registered for 2021.

We hope that each of you will continue getting out to run, walk, bike, swim, hike and whatever you do to keep active and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Artwork

Artist's Statement

The art symbolizes several things I love about Humboldt Bay. Our beautiful Bay is surrounded by the unique Victorian architecture of Eureka, perhaps best exemplified by the Carson Mansion, one of the most photographed buildings in America; towering redwood forests; sparkling water; and wildflowers along the highway. I often see curious seals periscoping in the water when I’ve run along the Mad River at low tide or lunched at Woodley Island.

I have run or biked many parts of this marathon route, including the windy road from Sunnybrae to Freshwater, the redwood forest paths and hills of Arcata Community Forest, the Samoa Bridge, and the streets of Old Town Eureka.

A runner for 30+ years, I ran a few half-marathons years ago when I worked for Runner’s World magazine. I am honored to be a part of this first-ever event and look forward to it becoming an established part of a Humboldt County summer!
