The SOCAL River Marathon is a a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K on the Santa Ana River Trail. Though this course is primarily flat there is a gradual decline of 365 feet over 26.2 Miles which feels like nothing. The only real up and downs on this course are going under freeways or roads. This course is so much fun and highlights the Southern California area from the desert to Orange County passing closely to Disneyland next to Anaheim Stadium. This race finishes at Huntington Beach State Park. Source
