GOLDEN STATE CHALLENGE FAQS

"This medal is a combination of all the sweat, tears and sunburns that I’ve gotten this year. I also did the one beach half marathon, signed up for the marathon, or trained for the marathon, forgot to sign up, had to do the half and still had a blast."

- Brent

“51 years old, mom of seven, 6 girls and 1 boy. Running is my therapy and I do it for my sanity and my health and just to feel good. There is nothing better than a long run, just me, the outdoors and my shoes. I did the golden state challenge because I did the surf city and I really enjoyed it. It was beautiful and then I saw there was other ones”

- Susan

“I started with Napa To Sonoma at the top of California, ran all the way down the coast to Surf City, Long Beach, and just finished here running the bridge in San Francisco... I love the Golden State Challenge, it makes you feel like you took on something really special.”
