THE 2014 BIG SUR MARATHON | The Ginger Runner

SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/subGINGE...
READ THE FULL RACE REPORT: gingerrunner.com (Coming Soon!)
The Big Sur marathon is a one-of-a-kind race that is held on some of the most scenic stretches of road in the world. I kid you not when I say that this race is THE destination road marathon and will never cease to take your breath away.
My fiance, a handful of my good friends and I all signed up to run the 2014 Big Sur International Marathon. While it had been a few years since Kim and I ran it for our first time, our friends hadn't run it at all. Needless to say it was an incredible day for all of us!
Not only did Kim crush her marathon PR by 33 minutes (on one TOUGH road marathon course) but I surprised myself with a 20 minute course PR!
The course itself starts in the lush Northern California Redwoods for the first 6 miles or so before it breaks out of the tree cover and heads right towards the ocean. The last 20 miles are essentially cliff-hugging, ocean-view dripping steps on the edge of the earth. It is incredible.
Add the Big Sur Marathon to your bucket list. It's worth it.
A big thank you to Kimberley Teshima, Colin, Kristin & Fiona Cooley, Dave & Margie Daley, Joe Magee and all the amazing volunteers that helped make the 2014 Big Sur Marathon a rousing success! Here's to next year!

[@MarkVillalovos]

You captured the sheer awesome-ness of the race perfectly. So many unforgettable moments along this course. I ran the 21 miler which just meant an amazing race with no wall. The perfect distance and all the amazing scenery anyone could ever ask for

[@AleksandrMaus]

Hi Ethan! I watched this video like dozens of times and last weekend I finally flew across the country and ran Big Sur Marathon. What a beautiful, awesome course and amazing views and the hills! I already miss it. Thank you very much for the inspiration!

[@ScubaMattaphore]

I'm not sure how many times I've re-watched this video, or how many times I've replayed "Bixby" on Spotify, but I'm already looking forward to running this Big Sur 2019 course in my GRGR2018 shirt. Keep it up, Ethan, and thanks for the stoke!

[@thenofxlagwagon]

Album Now!!! Great music! I need it in my ears while I'm running.

[@TheGingerRunner]

workin on it!

[@ccwaggoner]

The production on your videos/films is always tops, Ginger. I love it! If you don't mind my asking, what are those attachments you have to your earbuds there? I imagine they're to keep them from falling out during the race?

[@nightinsect]

Ethan i love your music compositions big fan :)

[@NikolaOvcharski]

Great video!

[@Swimmer47]

This race is already sold out!!! Ridiculous!

[@ChristianP5170]

You're welcome! I had to be up at 3 to get that marker on Bixby Bridge!

[@TheGingerRunner]

Haha, YES! Did you see Dean as he made his way to the start on foot?

[@KeeleBryan]

So I have just one thought for you on these race videos... I love the reviews you do because of the comic relief you add, along with an amazingly thorough analysis. These race videos, the music ect. are a little too zen like. Doesn't really fit your style... The best part of the Big Sur one is you giving Deane a hard time and chatting with your GORGEOUS (Gingers get the ladies? First time ever???) fiance. I for one want more of you in the middle of the race saying things like, "hill was so steep, damn near ran of the road into the ocean." Anyways wouldn't critique ya if I didn't love ya (my first ginger man crush?? This is comment is getting weird!) See Ya!

[@TheGingerRunner]

I appreciate the critique. For this particular film, this camera set-up (GoPro in waterproof housing because it was supposed to rain) doesn't allow for good audio (Dean scene) so I knew I wouldn't be talking to it to give a "play-by-play". Also, I am a filmmaker and each race experience is different for me so I try to capture them differently. Full disclosure: these films are for me to look back on 10, 20 even 50 years from now and relive the beauty of my surroundings, the music I created at that time in my creative process, etc. These aren't necessarily "race reviews" or "analysis". These are not my shoe/gear reviews. I do plenty of videos where I talk too much. These are my chance to shut up and enjoy what I'm doing and where I am and attempt to convey that to the viewer.

[@woulfer]

What is on your feet? Are those the new Altra's? They look really interesting. Can't wait to hear how they are. Great race on a beautiful course. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnreddinger]

You're running in the One Squared! Wait, did you review them and I missed it? Or is that coming up? ...OK, going to watch the rest of the video now.

[@TheGingerRunner]

Keen eye, and yes, it's coming :)

[@108Georgia108]

Awesome content man! Also, what does the hat do! Haha

[@TheGingerRunner]

It has a pocket up front I store my trash in :)

[@BOBSMITHH]

so when's the album coming out? love your music, would love to add it to my playlists !

[@lovechocolate2275]

Shay sent me here !!!

[@douglasperceval8038]

[@SteveSherron]

I'm not a runner but I love your vids.

[@VeganRunnerUK]

I recently met one of the people who is on the steering committee of this race and she inspired me to visit the states and run it in the future. I was told that sometimes you see whales in the ocean. Did you spot any? Subscribed and looking forward to watching your videos.

[@nepdk]

so awesome!

[@Thepirateofmedway]

Love this vid. What's your next race?

[@liz4921r]

[@benjamin.kelley]

Hey Ethan! This year I embarked on the journey to out run my future father in law by finishing a half marathon. Now I am signed up for another and the Akron full marathon. Anything I should know about anything? I'm not old enough to enjoy the after parties, but whatever advice you can give me would be great!

[@alinsocal21]

I noticed you're using the Altra One 2, how are they?

[@inkstickart]

What do you use to flim with? I'd like to do this with my marathons...my Iphone ain't cutting it anymore haha
