Welcome to the 2025 California International Marathon.
CIM strives to offer multiple registration options that provide registrants maximum flexibility in their marathon race entry. Each marathon entry tier and price point offers different registration solutions if you decide at any time you are unable to run the marathon. These options range from NO flexibility in our "Unprotected Entry" (Blue) level all the way to a fully transferrable or deferrable option in our "Worry-Free Entry" (Gold) level.
There is limited space in each entry Level. Please review your options carefully and choose the option that works best for you.
Please Note: CIM has a strict 6-hour course cutoff.

Race organizers will NOT provide refunds for ANY personal conditions or circumstances that may prevent, limit, or hinder a registrant from preparing for, traveling to, or participating in CIM (including, but not limited to, injuries, illness, travel delays, family emergencies, etc.). We do NOT provide any refunds for registrants that are unable to participate. If you register and are unable to participate, for ANY reason, NO refund will be granted.
Other registration solutions, such as transfers and deferrals are dependent on the type of registration purchased. Make sure you are aware of all of the registration solution options associated with your registration type and all of the restrictions policies, and deadlines associated with those different options.
All registrants should also consider that certain event details are subject to change, and refunds will NOT be provided due to changes in the event details/amenities/services offered, including but not limited to: spectator presence, start time and procedures, event transportation, on-course services, pace teams, gear check, and pre and post race amenities and experiences.
Race organizers, in conjunction with public safety officials, reserve the right to cancel the event at any time related to ensuring the safety of participants, spectators, and the community. In the event of a race cancellation, refunds, credits, or deferrals are NOT guaranteed to participants; however, race organizers will consider the cancellation circumstances and may provide participants with some registration compensation options.
