SUMMARY:Stockholm Half Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Stockholm Half Marathon welcomes runners to Stockholm\, Sweden for a 21.098 km half marathon race weekend. It is a strong destination choice for runners seeking a well-supported field\, memorable scenery and a clear training goal. The next confirmed race date is 2027-08-21. See the official race website for entry rules\, current course information\, packet pickup and schedule updates. \nCourse Highlights\nA city half marathon across Stockholm's central islands\, passing the City Hall\, Royal Palace\, Gamla Stan and Södermalm. The route rewards runners who study its turns\, terrain and weather in advance. Use long runs to rehearse hydration and fueling\, and practice staying patient through the opening miles when the field is crowded. A course-specific plan can help runners make the most of the fast sections without spending too much energy early. \nRace Details\nThe next confirmed race date is 2027-08-21. A typical start is around 15:30 local time. Distances include 21.098 km half marathon. Review the organizer’s final athlete guide for wave assignments\, time limits\, aid stations\, bag drop\, transport and road closures. International travelers should confirm passport\, local transit and entry requirements. The listed venue is Strömbron\, Stockholm. \nRace week is easier when logistics are part of the training plan. Arrive early enough for bib pickup\, inspect the start-area plan and identify a simple breakfast that matches your normal routine. Book lodging with a practical route to the start\, keep a short shakeout run on the schedule and pack familiar nutrition. If conditions are warmer\, windier or wetter than expected\, run by effort rather than forcing a pace. Spectators should review the official course map because closures and restricted access can change the best meeting points. \nWhy Runners Love It\nThe scenic\, gently rolling route is ideal for runners who want a compact race with landmark views and a relaxed afternoon start. Stockholm Half Marathon is a well-established city event with an expo in Kungsträdgården and a central start and finish. The event works well for groups because the host city offers plenty to do before and after race day\, while the main distance provides a focused challenge. Look for charity entries\, local clubs\, volunteer opportunities and race-week cultural events through the organizer. Respect local neighborhoods\, follow course marshals and leave time after the finish to explore responsibly. \nPlan Your Entry\nPopular races can fill quickly\, and lotteries or entry windows may close before race day. Review the official website before making nonrefundable plans\, save the participant guide once posted and confirm medical\, insurance\, transfer and refund policies. Build your training calendar backward from race day\, then schedule travel and recovery around key workouts. Visit the official Stockholm Half Marathon website for the latest registration information and announcements.

SUMMARY:Maybank Marathon Bali (Awaiting 2027 Race Date)

The event is a strong choice for runners who want a memorable course\, a well-supported race weekend and a clear sense of place. The next listed date is August 22\, 2027. See the official race website for registration\, rules\, packet pickup and final schedule updates. \nCourse Highlights\nA dawn route through Gianyar’s villages\, rice fields and traditional Balinese landscapes\, finishing in a tropical festival setting. The route rewards athletes who study its terrain and conditions in advance. Weather\, surface changes\, elevation and crowd flow can all affect pacing\, so runners should build a race-specific plan and practice the nutrition they expect to use. Official course maps and aid-station details should take precedence over any early description. \nRace Details\nThe principal start is expected around 04:30 local time\, with the event operating in the Asia/Makassar time zone. Distances include Marathon\, half marathon and 10K. Check the organizer’s final athlete guide for wave assignments\, cutoffs\, aid stations\, bag drop\, transport and road closures.

Runners traveling internationally should confirm passport\, insurance\, local transit and entry requirements before booking. \nRace week is easier when logistics are treated as part of training.

Book lodging with a practical route to the venue\, keep a short shakeout run on the schedule and pack familiar shoes\, layers and fueling. If the course is exposed\, hot\, cold\, hilly or high-altitude\, use the opening miles to settle into effort rather than chasing a target pace.

Maybank Marathon has become one of Indonesia’s best-known road races and a major annual sports-and-tourism event in Bali. The event also works well for a group trip: shorter distances\, relay options or community activities can give family members choices while the main race provides a meaningful training goal. Look for charity entries\, local clubs\, volunteer opportunities and race-week cultural events through the organizer. After the finish\, leave time to explore Gianyar responsibly and support local businesses. \nPlan Your Entry\nRegistration windows\, lotteries\, pricing and field limits can change quickly. Review the official website before making nonrefundable plans\, save the participant guide once it is posted and confirm medical\, refund and transfer policies. Build your training calendar backward from race day\, include an acclimation plan when relevant and check all travel logistics early.

SUMMARY:Sydney Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Sydney Marathon brings runners to Sydney\, Australia for a memorable marathon\, half marathon\, 10K and 4K family run race weekend. The event combines a distinctive setting with a welcoming mass-participation atmosphere\, making it a strong choice for runners planning a destination race. Confirm the latest entry\, packet-pickup\, and course information with the organizer before traveling. \nCourse Highlights\nThe signature route crosses the Sydney Harbour Bridge\, moves through the city’s varied neighborhoods\, and finishes near the Opera House with harbor views throughout the day. The route is designed to showcase the character of the host city or landscape\, with plenty of visual landmarks and spectator energy. Runners should expect a mix of signature views\, purposeful turns\, and a finish-line setting that gives the day a clear sense of occasion. The terrain and weather can shape pacing\, so a course-specific training block is worthwhile. \nRace Details\nThe next listed race date is 2027-08-29\, with a typical start around 06:30 local time. Distances include marathon\, half marathon\, 10K and 4K family run. Review the official schedule for wave assignments\, time limits\, aid stations\, transport\, and any changes to the start area. If the date is estimated\, treat the calendar entry as a planning marker rather than a travel guarantee. \nFor race week\, arrive early enough to collect your bib without rushing\, and plan the transfer to the start before race morning. Destination events can create crowded trains\, road closures\, or limited parking. Book refundable lodging when possible\, keep a light shakeout run on the schedule\, and pack familiar nutrition. On warmer or hillier courses\, conservative early pacing is usually the best way to protect the final miles. \nWhy Runners Love It\nThe bridge crossing and Opera House finish provide one of the most recognizable backdrops in global marathon running. The event also works well for groups because the weekend usually offers more than one distance or a festival-style program. That gives first-timers\, experienced racers\, and supporters a shared reason to gather\, while the local scenery and food make the trip feel like more than a finish-time exercise. \nSydney’s race has quickly grown into a major international destination event and a Southern Hemisphere showcase; check the organizer’s ballot and date announcements before booking. Many participants use the race to support local nonprofits\, community programs\, or personal fundraising goals; check the organizer’s current charity and partnership information for the latest options. \nPlan and Register\nRead the official race website for registration\, rules\, course maps\, travel notices\, and date updates. Entry policies\, start times\, and distances can change\, especially for future editions. Build your race plan around the confirmed organizer information and use this calendar page as a convenient starting point.

The event also works well for a group trip: shorter races and community activities give family members options\, while the main distance provides a meaningful training goal. Look for charity entries\, local clubs\, volunteer opportunities and race-week cultural events through the official organizer. After the finish\, leave time to explore the host city or landscape responsibly and support local businesses. \nPlan Your Entry\nRegistration windows\, lotteries and field limits can change quickly for popular races. Review the official website before making nonrefundable plans\, and save the race’s participant guide once it is posted.

The terrain and weather can shape pacing\, so a course-specific training block is worthwhile. \nRace Details\nThe next listed race date is 2027-10-03\, with a typical start around 07:30 local time. Distances include half marathon\, relay and shorter community races. Review the official schedule for wave assignments\, time limits\, aid stations\, transport\, and any changes to the start area. If the date is estimated\, treat the calendar entry as a planning marker rather than a travel guarantee. \nFor race week\, arrive early enough to collect your bib without rushing\, and plan the transfer to the start before race morning. Destination events can create crowded trains\, road closures\, or limited parking. Book refundable lodging when possible\, keep a light shakeout run on the schedule\, and pack familiar nutrition. On warmer or hillier courses\, conservative early pacing is usually the best way to protect the final miles. \nWhy Runners Love It\nIt is a friendly destination half with a playful setting\, making it especially appealing for families\, first-time half-marathoners\, and runners traveling with non-racing supporters. The event also works well for groups because the weekend usually offers more than one distance or a festival-style program. That gives first-timers\, experienced racers\, and supporters a shared reason to gather\, while the local scenery and food make the trip feel like more than a finish-time exercise. \nHershey’s race tradition is closely tied to the town’s hospitality\, community events\, and charitable spirit; verify the organizer’s current program and beneficiary information. Many participants use the race to support local nonprofits\, community programs\, or personal fundraising goals; check the organizer’s current charity and partnership information for the latest options. \nPlan and Register\nRead the official race website for registration\, rules\, course maps\, travel notices\, and date updates. Entry policies\, start times\, and distances can change\, especially for future editions. Build your race plan around the confirmed organizer information and use this calendar page as a convenient starting point.

See the official race website for registration\, rules\, packet pickup and final schedule updates. \nCourse Highlights\nA single-loop desert journey through red-rock canyons\, slickrock\, mesas and two mountain ranges around Moab. The route rewards athletes who study its terrain and conditions in advance. Weather\, surface changes\, elevation and crowd flow can all affect pacing\, so runners should build a race-specific plan and practice the nutrition they expect to use.

SUMMARY:Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon was a premier music-themed running festival that took participants on a historic tour of the city’s Beatles-related landmarks and iconic football stadiums. Although the event concluded its multi-year run in 2021\, it remains celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere and scenic waterfront finish. \nCourse Highlights\nThe Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon offered runners an “all-inclusive” tour of the city’s most legendary musical and cultural landmarks. Starting at the iconic Royal Albert Dock\, the route immediately immersed participants in the city’s maritime heritage before heading into the heart of the city centre. Runners passed the world-famous Cavern Club on Mathew Street\, the spiritual home of The Beatles\, and continued through the historic streets that shaped the “Fab Four.” \nThe course was renowned for its scenic diversity\, stretching north to pass the city’s rival football cathedrals\, Goodison Park and Anfield. After circling these sporting icons\, the route returned south\, offering spectacular views of the Liverpool skyline and the Royal Liver Building. The marathon distance further distinguished itself by venturing through the majestic Sefton Park and its Victorian Palm House\, as well as the famous Penny Lane. The final stretch took runners along the breezy River Mersey promenade for a grand finish at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool and the M&S Bank Arena. \nRace Details\nTraditionally held over a vibrant May or October weekend\, the event was more than just a race; it was a multi-day running festival. The Sunday headlined with the Marathon (starting typically at 10:00) and Half Marathon\, while the Saturday featured a 5K and a 1-mile family fun run. This staggered schedule allowed many runners to complete the “Remix Challenge” by participating on both days to earn an extra commemorative medal. \nIn true Rock ‘n’ Roll Series fashion\, the course was lined with live bands\, cheer squads\, and high-energy entertainment at every mile. Water stations often doubled as mini-concert stages\, keeping the “Beat in Your Feet.” Participants received a technical finisher’s T-shirt and a highly collectible medal\, which often featured Beatles-inspired designs or local landmarks. The experience culminated in a finish-line festival featuring a headline concert and a celebratory pint for all adult finishers. \nWhy Runners Love It\nRunners were drawn to Liverpool for its unparalleled atmosphere and the legendary “Scouse” hospitality. The city’s deep-rooted connection to music history provided a unique backdrop that few other marathons could match. For fans of The Beatles\, the race was a pilgrimage\, offering the chance to run past the places that inspired global hits like “Penny Lane” and “Strawberry Fields Forever.” \nBeyond the music\, the event was praised for its inclusive nature\, welcoming elite athletes and first-time charity runners alike. The flat\, fast finish along the promenade was a favorite for those chasing personal bests\, while the local support—with residents often lining the streets with jelly babies and motivational signs—provided the necessary boost through the final miles. Although the series officially concluded its Liverpool residency in 2021\, it remains a beloved chapter in the city’s running history\, celebrated for bringing a world-class “rock star” experience to the streets of Merseyside. \nAt a Glance\n\nLocation: Liverpool\, England — United Kingdom\nNext Date: TBD — date not yet announced\nDistances: Marathon\, Half Marathon\, 10K\, 5K\, 1 Mile Fun Run\nStart Time: 10:00\n\nRegister & Learn More\nVisit the official race website for entry details\, course maps\, and registration: https://www.runrocknroll.com/liverpool

SUMMARY:Mont Saint-Michel Marathon (Awaiting 2028 Race Date)
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ Estimated date — the 2028 date has not yet been announced by the organizer. We’ve kept this event visible on the calendar around its usual weekend so you can plan ahead. Please check the official race website (linked below) before booking travel.\n2026 Race Update\nThe Mont Saint-Michel Marathon continues to draw runners to the stunning coastline of Normandy\, France for its 2026 edition. Registration windows fill quickly for this iconic UNESCO World Heritage route\, so early sign-up is essential. Whether you’re a first-timer or returning to conquer those coastal hills again\, make sure your training plan accounts for the course’s elevation changes. Check back for official registration details as the race approaches. \nA Picturesque Run\nIf you’re a runner looking for a unique and challenging race\, the Mt. Saint-Michel Marathon in France is one to consider. The course takes you through the picturesque countryside of Normandy\, past fields of blooming flowers and quaint villages. The pièce de résistance of the race\, however\, is the breathtaking view of the UNESCO World Heritage site\, Mont Saint-Michel. This medieval abbey perched on a rocky island in the midst of the bay of the same name is truly a sight to behold. In this blog post\, we’ll take you through the marathon experience and share some tips for making the most of your time in Normandy. \nThe Course:\nThe first thing you’ll notice when you arrive at the starting line is the palpable excitement in the air. Runners from all over the world have gathered for this race — much like the Madagascar Marathon and the Toronto Marathon Races\, which also attract international fields\, and the energy is contagious. As you set off in the early morning\, the sun rising behind you\, the countryside comes to life. The first few miles are relatively flat\, giving you time to find your stride and get into a comfortable rhythm. The towns you pass through are lined with cheering spectators\, all eager to see the runners go by. \nAround mile 10\, the course turns and starts to head towards the coast. Here you’ll face your first real challenge: a hill that seems to go on forever. But the reward at the top is well worth it – the view of Mont Saint-Michel across the bay is stunning. From here on out\, the course is more undulating\, with a few more hills to conquer. But as you approach the finish line\, the excitement builds once again. \n \nThe Race Experience:  \nOne of the things that sets the Mt. Saint-Michel Marathon apart from other races is the finish line. You actually finish inside the walls of the abbey itself\, with the final stretch taking you up a steep hill and through a medieval archway. The sounds of the crowds echoing through the narrow stone streets are unforgettable\, and the feeling of accomplishment as you cross the line is indescribable. \nOf course\, the race is just one part of the experience. Normandy is a beautiful region of France\, with plenty to see and do. Take some time to explore the quaint villages of the countryside\, stopping for a baguette and some local cheese at a market along the way. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Mont Saint-Michel itself – the abbey is a masterpiece of medieval architecture\, and the views from the top are breathtaking. \n\n \nThe area also has plenty of other attractions in the area\, such as the D-Day beaches and the city of Caen\, home to the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Château de Caen. And of course\, you’ll want to indulge in some of the region’s famous cuisine – think buttery croissants\, rich cheeses\, and fresh seafood. \nRunning the Mt. Saint-Michel Marathon is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the stunning scenery to the unique finish line inside the medieval walls of the abbey\, it’s a race that will stay with you forever. And with so much to see and do in the surrounding area\, it’s the perfect excuse for a French adventure. So if you’re looking for a challenge and a chance to explore a beautiful corner of France\, start training and mark your calendar for the next Mt. Saint-Michel Marathon. \nCheck out our race catalog for more exciting races. \n \nRelated Races You Might Like\nLooking for more race options?

SUMMARY:Crater Lake Rim Runs (Awaiting 2028 Race Date)
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ Estimated date — the 2028 date has not yet been announced by the organizer. We’ve kept this event visible on the calendar around its usual weekend so you can plan ahead. Please check the official race website (linked below) before booking travel.\nCourse Highlights\nThe Crater Lake Rim Runs take place entirely along the rim of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park\, one of America’s most awe-inspiring natural landscapes. All three running distances and the walk option follow the paved Rim Drive — with the final four miles of the marathon on dirt and pumice cinder roads — at elevations ranging from 5\,980 to 7\,850 feet above sea level. The panoramic views of Crater Lake\, formed by the collapse of ancient Mount Mazama 7\,700 years ago and filled with 1\,943 feet of impossibly blue water\, are visible for nearly every mile. Long climbs and descents of nearly 1\,000 feet over five-mile stretches add athletic challenge to the visual magnificence. \nRace Details\nNow in its fifth decade (47th annual as of 2024)\, the Crater Lake Rim Runs take place in early August — typically the second Saturday — starting at 7:30 a.m. from the Rim Village parking area. Course closures: 6.7-mile run at 9:30 a.m.\, 13-mile run at 10:00 a.m.\, and marathon at 1:00 p.m. The race is limited to 500 participants and fills quickly. Registration opens March 1st. Participants must be at least 10 years old for the 6.7-mile option and 18 for the marathon. No registration is permitted inside the park. \nWhy Runners Love It\nThere is no race venue in Oregon — arguably in America — that rivals Crater Lake for sheer geological and visual grandeur. Running around the rim of a caldera filled with the purest water on earth\, with Wizard Island rising from the lake’s center and the Cascades extending in every direction\, is a transcendent experience. The high altitude and honest climbs make every finish a genuine achievement\, and the remoteness of the park means participants experience the lake at its quietest\, before summer crowds arrive. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nAltitude acclimatization is essential — arrive a day early if coming from sea level. The Rim Village and Crater Lake Lodge offer on-site lodging but book months in advance. The park entrance fee applies to all visitors. Register as soon as registration opens on March 1st. Bring layers; Crater Lake rim temperatures can drop dramatically even in August. \nRun the rim of one of America’s great wonders — register at Crater Lake Rim Runs.
