US Marathons 2025 - 2026

Marathons are a bucket list goal for most runners across America. The 26.2 miles (42km) is a huge achievement, but short enough to be possible by most people - after a lot of hard training - but definitely long enough and tough enough to make running marathons one of life's most memorable experiences.

From small, locally organized marathons, to the biggest races in the USA, attracting tens of thousands of runners, the findarace event calendar is the most comprehensive and is the easiest way to find your next great challenge.

How to choose the right Marathon race?

Two key factors to consider are weather and course conditions. Depending on what time of year and which state you’re running in, you’ll come up against a wide variety of different weather conditions and that could make completing the race more difficult. You should also consider how tough the course is and how many steep hills are included in the route. Keeping these factors in mind will help you to choose a race with the right level of challenge.
