AVALON 50K/50M BENEFIT RUN
The Avalon 50 Benefit Run is an ultra race for the books. It’s the ultimate challenge of our Run Catalina events. As it is a benefit run, all donations to the Avalon Lions Club will significantly help charities on the island including eye sight check-ups, scholarships for graduating seniors, and other local Catalina organizations.
Race weekend consists of two events - the 50 Mile Run and the Avalon 50K (31 miles).
CATALINA ISLAND MARATHON
The Catalina Island Marathon is California’s Oldest Trail Race. This "bucket list' marathon features the exciting and historic marathon course used largely since the first year on the Catalina Island Conservancy’s lands. Starting in Two Harbors and finishing in Avalon, its spectacular vistas, wildlife, and challenging climbs have been enjoyed by thousands of runners over the years.
In addition to the marathon, the weekend features a 10k and 5k.
CATALINA ISLAND HALF MARATHON
It’s the hardest race you will ever love! The Catalina Island Half Marathon includes more single track terrain than any of the other races on Catalina Island.
