Route information

The Full Marathon course starts in Yorba Linda, California and heads down the Santa Ana River Trail passing Angels Stadium and views of Southern California via the River System. This course is primarily slightly downhill but does have a few rolling climbs. 380 feet of net decline over 26.2 miles so it will feel like a flat race.
Aid stations are around every 2 miles starting at mile 3. Toilets, water, electrolyte at all. Gels and fruit at select miles.
