  • Description: The SLO Marathon is a point-to-point course. The race starts at San Luis Obispo High School and finishes at the iconic Madonna Inn, in between highlighting the incredible beauty of the green hills and open spaces of the Edna Valley. The course starts fast with a loop around the tree-lined historic downtown, passing the neoned Fremont Theater and City Courthouse, Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa and turn-of-the-century architecture before heading into the hills, vineyards and farmland of the Edna Valley with scenic Morro views.

    Upon return, participants head back into the town center to the spectator friendly finish line at the basin of Cerro San Luis Obispo Morro, Madonna Inn and The SLO Life Expo. The Marathon race starts at 250 ft. above sea level then covers 2 to 3 hill climbs before hitting a few rollers in the Edna Valley only as high as 375 ft. above sea level and finishes flat and downhill at 175 ft. above sea level.
