About the Jeepers Creepers Marathon
The Jeepers Creepers Marathon is run on a Sunday in mid-October at Heritage Park in Santa Clarita, California, alongside a half marathon, 10K and 5K. The marathon is two loops of the half marathon course on the Santa Clarita bike path, which has no car traffic and is described by the organizers as mostly flat with gentle rolling hills. It has a seven-hour time limit and an optional 6:00 AM early start, and the organizers say the course is a certified Boston qualifier.
