As you cross the finish line at the Carlsbad Marathon, Half-Marathon, Surf Sun Run 5K, and Double Down Challenge, let the celebrations begin in our epic Finish Line Festival! After you receive your hard-earned finisher’s medal, In Motion Events and our sponsors will be waiting to celebrate your achievement! 

 

1. Enjoy your Finisher Food Bag 

After you cross the finish line and while in the finish line chute, every participant receives a finisher food bag filled with delicious goodies from our sponsors to help you refuel and celebrate! Snacks will include a delicious, organic banana from Jimbo’s, a Dole Fruit Bowl, a bag of artisan crackers from Partner’s Crackers, and more!  Enjoy these snacks with a bottle of Qure’s Premium Alkaline Water and a carton of yummy chocolate milk from Hollandia Dairy!
