Once each year, a 26.2-mile stretch of Highway 1 along California's majestic central coastline closes due to heavy traffic-six hours of bumper-to-bumper sneakers, worn by 4,500 runners tackling the Big Sur International Marathon. The race meets for its 21st time on Sunday, April 30, and registration has been closed since late January for what many call the most beautiful marathon in the world.
