California Time To Travel Challenge

Join the fun with the SF and OC Marathons to earn this fabulous new medal for your collection! 

 

If you ran with us at any 2022 San Francisco Marathon event, you can travel down to southern California to run the OC Marathon Running Festival on the weekend of May 6 – 7, 2023 to participate in the new Time To Travel Challenge! All runners that complete both events will receive the special  TIME TO TRAVEL Challenge Medal after crossing the finish line at any of the OC Marathon events! 

If you didn’t run with us in 2022, no worries! You can start your challenge at the 2023 OC Marathon, half or 5K, and then it’s time to travel up to the City by the Bay for the San Francisco Marathon on July 24th, 2023 to receive the special TIME TO TRAVEL Challenge Medal after crossing the finish line in San Francisco! 

 If you can’t make the OC Marathon in May, The CTTTC will continue in 2024 with runners who participate in July at the 2023 San Francisco Marathon becoming eligible to qualify at the 2024 OC Marathon. All runners that complete both events will receive the TIME TO TRAVEL medal!

Challenge Rules

The California Time To Travel Challenge (CTTTC) begins at the 2023 OC Marathon with the first Time To Travel medals given to runners that have run any distance at the 2022 San Francisco Marathon (except The Lollipop 1K), and then run any distance at the 2023 OC Marathon (except Kid’s Run The OC). If you didn’t run in 2022, you can start your challenge at the 2023 OC Marathon and qualify for the medal at the 2023 San Francisco Marathon!

  • You are eligible at your second qualifying event in the series.  The challenge then starts again. 
  • To be eligible, runners must register for both events with the same first name, last name and birth date.
  • Events must be completed consecutively, if you skip an event, the challenge must be started over.
  • After completing the challenge and receiving the award, the challenge starts again and can be repeated by traveling back to the next event again for fun and to collect the new medal. The Time To Travel medal award will change yearly so you can continue collecting the California Time To Travel Challenge medals.
