Although we would much prefer to have you run with us in-person, the virtual option is still available. Participating virtually still counts towards your legacy and/or beach cities challenge status, and your progress will remain intact once your results are submitted.

  • To participate virtually:
    • Ensure you are currently registered for, or have switched to, the virtual event.
    • -Track your run with a virtual fitness tracker (fitbit, strava, runkeeper, etc.)
    • -Complete the virtual 5K, 13.1-mile race (half marathon) or 26.2-mile race (full marathon) and submit proof through the virtual run submission link by May 30th. 
    • -Receive your finisher’s medal and 2027 OC Marathon shirt in the mail! If you completed the beach cities challenge, the combo crush, or became a legacy runner, you’ll be awarded for those as well!
  • See “Virtual Runner Questions” towards the bottom of the FAQ’s for additional information.
