About the M1: MJC x MUC Grand Prix
The course runs at Modesto Junior College and pairs a half marathon relay with an open shorter race on the same morning. Teams split the relay distance across several legs, while solo runners and walkers take on the shorter distance at their own pace. Proceeds go toward MJC Athletics and its student-athletes.
The post-race scene has an F1 theme: exotic cars fill a show area, local vendors set up nearby, there is coffee, music, and a live broadcast of the Las Vegas Grand Prix on a large screen. It is a longer hang than most race mornings, worth planning for.
