Perfect

The California coastline is

the real star of the Big Sur

International Marathon,

as the incredible views of

the Pacific Ocean make

this one of running’s most

iconic races. This year, the

perfect weather made the

sighting of gray whales pos-

sible from the racecourse.

On the men’s side, Chris

Wardian won for the sec-

ond time, this year with a

winning time of 2:30:29. On

the women’s side, Tegan

Searle, of nearby Monterey,

Calif., running in just her

fourth ever marathon, won

with a time of 3:01:47. Out

of nearly 7,400 runners, 369

of them completed a rare

and respected achievement

known as the Boston 2 Big

Sur Challenge, where run-

ners finish both the Boston

Marathon and the Big Sur

International Marathon—

which take place less than

two weeks apart.
