We are a BOSTON QUALIFIER RACE!

Join us on Saturday, October 28th, for the 7th Annual Noyo Headlands Race 2023.  We are now certified for a full marathon, #CA1009TEB and a half marathon, #CA1010TEB.   We will have a 5k Fun Walk, 5k run and 10K run, along the stunning Northern California Coast all just before Halloween. Costumes are encouraged but optional!  Enjoy some of the most remarkable scenery Northern California has to offer and have a great time running with your friends!  The trail consists of asphalt and soft track, is fairly flat, well maintained, and commonly used by runners year-round.  

This race benefits the Mendocino Coast Healthcare Foundation (MCHFoundation) in its mission to support health and wellness organizations, along our beautiful Mendocino Coast. MCHFoundation provides critical and timely support through grants and volunteerism that directly aid the mission and needs of our clinics, hospital, volunteer fire departments, and health and wellness agencies.
