  6. Erini Shaker

    Hi! I am an NAIA athlete and last year I participated in the CIM with NAIA. I had a lot of fun and I was planning to do it again this year. Sadly, NAIA switched last minute to a different marathon. I found out after CIM bibs were sold out but I was still hoping to run the CIM this year!
    If anyone is transferring their bib, I would love to purchase it off of you! You can email me at nini5shaker@gmail.com

    Hi, I am looking to secure a bib to run this year. I would love to join all of my socal friends that are running but was unable to register in time as I wasn’t sure if I was able to make the race a few months ago. My current PR time was not fast enough to make the elite late registration so here I am looking for a transfer. Call or text me at (805) 624-0322 or email me at blakedunkleberger@gmail.com. Thank you.

  21. lynseymorton

    Hi all! I am hoping to secure a transfer bib for the full marathon. I ran the CIM for the first time last year in memory of my late grandfather who as a Sacramento native ran the CIM yearly. I thought that I was going to be a “one and done” marathoner, but I have since decided that I want to carry on his tradition and run the CIM each year in his honor. I would be so grateful if someone would consider transferring their bib to me. Thank you so much. Email: lynzmorton7@yahoo.com

  22. jeandavid

    I hope you are all doing well and having a great day so far! Just wanted to shoot my shot over here and inquire if anyone is willing to transfer their CIM 2025 bib to me. A little more about me: I am currently on a quest to complete the 2025 California Marathon Gauntlet. This means running all of the major California road racing marathons. So far, I have completed LA, OC, SD, SF, and Long Beach will be this weekend, October 5th for me! Therefore, I really am looking to run CIM because how do I run basically all of California without running the capital right? So yeah, if any of y’all know anyone looking to transfer a bib, or transfer this yours and help me complete this quest, it is much appreciated! Thank you so much!
