About the Buzz Marathon #27

The race is held on the grounds of an active National Guard installation, which shapes the whole experience. The course heads out through varied terrain with real elevation change, and the open land means you may share the route with elk, deer, or a kit fox. California wildflowers and historic military landmarks appear along the way. It qualifies for Boston.

Getting on base has entry requirements, so bring valid photo identification, your vehicle registration, and proof of insurance before you arrive. Parking is in a convoy lot a short walk from the start. Packet pickup is hosted at a recreation center on base, also close to the start, with several days of pre-race pickup available plus a race-morning window. Clearing security before race day is strongly encouraged.

Common Questions About the Buzz Marathon #27

Will I finish last at the Buzz Marathon #27?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 31:34, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:37, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Buzz Marathon #27 a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (56 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Buzz Marathon #27?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:56 while the median finisher took 31:34. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
