California time to travel challenge

TIME TO TRAVEL!

The California Time To Travel Challenge (CTTTC) was founded to inspire travel between The Hoag OC Marathon which takes place each May, and The San Francisco Marathon which takes place each July. You can start your challenge at either race to qualify!

Run any event at San Francisco (besides the Lollipop 1K) and any event at The Hoag OC Running Festival (besides the Kids Run). All runners that complete both events will receive the TIME TO TRAVEL medal, available for pickup after you finish your second race.

The Rules

  • You are eligible at your second qualifying event in the series.  The challenge then starts again. 
  • To be eligible, runners must register for both events with the same first name, last name and birth date.
  • Events must be completed consecutively, if you skip an event, the challenge must be started over.
  • After completing the challenge and receiving the award, the challenge starts again and can be repeated by traveling back to the next event again for fun and to collect the new medal. The Time To Travel medal award will change yearly so you can continue collecting the California Time To Travel Challenge medals.
