City officials announced the 2022 Santa Clarita Marathon is set to return in February with runners set to be able to register for event activities starting next month.  

The marathon is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2022, with runners being able to register for Santa Clarita Marathon events, including the Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and Mayor’s Walk, beginning July 1, 2021.

The Santa Clarita Marathon, which is an official qualifying race for the Boston Marathon, was moved from November 2021 to the second weekend in February due to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and opportunities to enhance the participant experience moving forward, according to City officials.

A move to February also means fewer heat-related concerns for runners, spectators and race officials, marathon Organizers said. 

All events at the Santa Clarita Marathon are set to take place on the morning of Feb. 12, 2022, with the Marathon and Half Marathon, presented by Parkway Motorcars, beginning at 7 a.m., the Mayor’s Walk, presented by Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, at 7:05 a.m. and the 10 and 5Ks, presented by Boston Scientific beginning at 9 a.m. 

As such, the Double Feature and Trilogy Challenges are not expected to be offered, according to officials.
