From Myrtle Beach to Kiawah Island to Greer to Daufuskie Island, and more. South Carolina isn’t the kind of place that throws a marathon just to tick a box. Here, races have personality. The landscapes change quickly, from salt marshes and live oak tunnels to boardwalk stretches and sleepy inland neighborhoods. Winter mornings start cool […]

From Newport to Providence to Warwick, and more. Rhode Island might be the smallest state, but when it comes to marathons, it doesn’t run small. The courses here weave together ocean views, historic neighborhoods, and stretches of road where the wind off the water can change your day in an instant. Spring or fall, city

From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to Gettysburg to Erie, and more. Running in Pennsylvania is never one-note. One weekend you’re on a flat loop skimming the edge of Lake Erie, the next you’re grinding up a bridge in Pittsburgh with three different rivers swirling below you. The state’s races mix city grit with quiet farmland, history-packed

From Eugene to Portland to Hood River to Harrisburg, and more. Running a marathon in Oregon means committing to two things: scenery and unpredictability. The views will be there: ridgelines and trees doing their whole fall thing, but so will the elevation, the fog, and that stubborn Pacific Northwest chill. These aren’t polished, big-city productions.

From Route 66 to Tulsa to Oklahoma City, and more. Oklahoma marathons don’t play nice. You’re up against real wind, rocky trails, and miles of exposed path with no mercy from the sun.

From Cincinnati to Wright-Patterson to Akron to Cleveland, and more. Ohio doesn’t mess around with marathons. You’ll find hills that sneak up on tired legs, flat stretches that tempt a PR, and weather that changes moods halfway through your run. One race takes you past military jets, another hands you a beer after 26.2 miles

From Fargo to Medora to Bismarck, and more. Running a marathon in North Dakota isn’t about chasing big crowds or postcard backdrops – it’s about space. Open space. Quiet roads, long horizons. The state’s running scene is low-key but surprisingly well-loved, anchored by a handful of distinctive marathons that each bring something a little unexpected

From Elizabeth City to Raleigh to Asheville to Cary, and more. North Carolina has a bit of everything when it comes to marathons. One weekend you’re on a greenway in the woods, the next you’re dodging art murals in downtown Asheville. It’s not just variety for variety’s sake. Each race has its own character, quirks,

From Staten Island to Buffalo to Bath to Sackets Harbor, and more. Running a marathon in New York means different things depending on where you lace up. One weekend it’s skyscrapers and crowds, the next it’s quiet farm roads or a lakeside breeze. There’s the obvious one (the marathon everyone knows), but there are also

From Albuquerque to White Sands to Las Cruces to Shiprock, and more. Running a marathon in New Mexico is definitely a different kind of experience. The dry air, the high desert landscape, and iconic spots like Shiprock Pinnacle all add something special to the race. You’ll get a real sense of place and history along
