About the Modesto Marathon

The race carries a classic car theme, with vintage cars and entertainment woven into the morning. Proceeds support a local youth running program that guides at-risk teens through structured training, with the marathon itself as the goal they work toward all season. The morning has a purposeful character that comes directly from that connection.
