The 2021 Santa Clarita Marathon in November has been canceled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying public health restrictions in place for large events and community gatherings, as well as past participation numbers, the City of Santa Clarita has evaluated several components of the annual Santa Clarita Marathon and is making a necessary change to the event.
The Santa Clarita Marathon, presented by Parkway Motorcars, has been rescheduled to the second weekend in February, beginning in 2022, according to officials.
The Santa Clarita Marathon was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, marking just the second time in 24 years that the large-scale community event did not take place.
As the event has grown over the years, the Santa Clarita Marathon now includes a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K and Mayor’s Walk and takes place over two days, according to officials.
Originally scheduled for Nov. 2021, the 25th anniversary of the Santa Clarita Marathon is now set for Feb. 12 and 13, 2022.
In the past year, following the cancellation of running events nationwide, many races were rescheduled to the same November weekend as the Santa Clarita Marathon, creating increased competition for participants.
A move to February also means cooler weather that is more conducive to productive long-distance running, as well as fewer heat-related concerns for runners, spectators and race officials.
Registration for the 25th Santa Clarita Marathon will open on July 1, 2021. For more information about the Santa Clarita Marathon, please contact the City of Santa Clarita’s Arts and Events division at (661) 250-3787 or aeo@santa-clarita.com.
