Experience Modesto: Support Local and Stay Connected
The 2025 Modesto Marathon isn’t just about running—it’s about celebrating everything that makes Modesto unique. Whether you’re a local or visiting for race weekend, there’s no better time to immerse yourself in the community, support small businesses, and explore all the city’s unique experiences.
One of the best ways to make the most of your time in Modesto is by keeping things local. From grabbing a pre-race meal to relaxing after the big run, choosing locally-owned spots helps strengthen the community and keeps the city’s character alive. It’s also a great way to connect with fellow runners, residents, and the people who make Modesto a welcoming place.
Race weekend is the perfect opportunity to slow down and take it all in. Whether you’re fueling up, celebrating your achievement, or just exploring, staying local means getting an authentic experience while directly supporting the heart of Modesto, so while you’re here, choose to shop, dine, and unwind in ways that give back to the community. You’ll be glad you did!
