Carmel Marathon Officially Postponed to SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 2020!
Dear Carmel Marathon Weekend Participants,
As we have noted in our last update, we have been working hard to secure a postponement date for this year’s Carmel Marathon. We will continue to monitor the ongoing changes and developments with regard to the COVID-19 virus and follow the recommended guidelines to beat the virus. We are happy to share that we have received approval of a postponement date of Sunday, June 14 for the 10th Annual Carmel Marathon Weekend!
As an organization we are always committed to staging safe events and it has become clear that holding the Carmel Marathon on April 4 would be nearly impossible during a time when resources such as medical teams, volunteers, and vendors may be strained under the impact of this situation. The health and safety of our community, participants, volunteers and spectators come first along with supporting our partners in their efforts.
Participant Update: registered participants have the following options to choose from:
-
Automatically entered in the June 14th date. No action is required.
-
Transfer your entry to Virtual. Participants will receive their bib, shirt and medal once they have logged into their account and changed their entry to “virtual” and completed the distance. Detailed information will be emailed.
-
Defer your entry to April 3, 2021.
We know there will be many questions about the above options. In order to answer these and many other questions, please visit our FAQs below.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. We are so appreciative of our running community and love being able to put on exceptional races for you.
Todd Oliver,
Race Director
