SUMMARY:Lake Sammamish Half Marathon
DESCRIPTION:A scenic\, flat\, and fast point-to-point half marathon that follows the paved East Lake Sammamish Trail from Redmond to Issaquah ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). \nCourse Highlights\nThe USATF certified point-to-point course starts at Redmond City Hall and finishes at the soccer fields of Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). The route is entirely paved\, following the East Lake Sammamish Trail as it winds along the eastern shore of the lake ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). It is a flat and fast course with minimal elevation gain\, making it popular for runners aiming for personal bests ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). \nWhat Makes It Special\nThe race is highly regarded for its potential for personal records due to its extremely flat course profile ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). In 2027\, the event expands to two days (‘Double the Days’) to accommodate more runners ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). Participants receive premium Brooks tech shirts and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Sammamish and Marymoor Park ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). The event also emphasizes sustainability by operating as a cupless race ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). \nRace Details\n\nLocation: Redmond/Issaquah\, WA\nDistances: Half Marathon\nNext Race Date: 2027-03-06\n\nRace Weekend Tips\nPacket pickup is available at the Bellevue REI in the days leading up to the race or on race morning at Redmond City Hall ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). Free shuttles are provided to transport participants from the finish line back to the start line area\, and a pre-race shuttle is also typically offered ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). The event is cupless\, so runners should bring their own hydration system or use the reusable cups provided ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). Finish line parking at the state park requires a Discover Pass ([Orca Running](https://www.orcarunning.com/lake-sammamish-half/)). \nRegister\nReady to sign up?

SUMMARY:Run the Alamo Half Marathon & Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nRun the Alamo delivers the most historically rich running experience in Texas. The sunrise start at Hemisfair — marked by a live cannon blast and multiple musket volleys — immediately signals that this is no ordinary race. The Boston Qualifier-certified course runs literally past the Alamo on Houston Street\, winds through the San Pedro Cultural Park\, passes the iconic San Fernando Cathedral\, meanders through the tree-lined King William Historic District\, and visits the World Heritage Spanish colonial Missions before returning along the famous River Walk to a triumphant finish at Hemisfair and the Tower of the Americas. \nRace Details\nThe 15th Anniversary Run the Alamo takes place Sunday\, March 7\, 2027\, with a 6:59 AM sunrise start. The companion Alamo Donut Dash 5K/10K runs Saturday\, February 27\, 2027. Emergency race-day packet pickup is available 5:30–6:15 AM at the Civic Park bag check tent. The course is BQ-certified — flat\, fast\, and scenic with a vibrant festive atmosphere from start to finish. Pacing teams are provided by OnPaceRace for both the half and full marathon distances. Free phone tracking is available via the ACTIVE Experience app. \nSan Antonio’s Only Local Marathon\nRun the Alamo occupies a unique place in San Antonio’s running community as the only locally produced full marathon in the city. While the December San Antonio Marathon draws large fields\, Run the Alamo in March offers a spring alternative with arguably the more dramatic course — running past the Alamo itself and threading through the UNESCO World Heritage Mission District gives the race a sense of historical gravity that few marathons anywhere can match. The cannon blast start at sunrise over Hemisfair is a ritual that brings runners back year after year. \nWhy Runners Love It\nMarch in San Antonio strikes the perfect balance for racing — warm enough to feel the city’s energy\, cool enough for fast times. The sunrise start means the Alamo and historic downtown are bathed in golden morning light as runners pass through\, creating extraordinary race photos. The BQ certification makes this a legitimate PR course for serious runners\, while the festive atmosphere and historical setting make it equally rewarding for those running it for the experience. The 15th anniversary milestone in 2027 adds extra reason to make this the year you run it. \nRegister\nRegister at runthealamo.com or via RunSignup. Host hotel at 204 Alamo Plaza provides walkable access to the start line — use group code 030218ALAMO for runner rates.

SUMMARY:Napa Valley Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The Napa Valley Marathon is a world-class point-to-point race through California’s premier wine country\, known for its fast\, net-downhill course and scenic vineyard views. \nCourse Highlights\nThe point-to-point marathon course begins in Calistoga and traverses the length of the famed Silverado Trail\, finishing at Vintage High School in Napa. Runners enjoy a scenic\, net-downhill route (303-foot drop) that winds past world-renowned vineyards and iconic wineries. The terrain features gentle rolling hills in the first six miles\, followed by a mostly flat and fast stretch with minimal turns—only four in the final four miles. The half marathon joins the same path starting from Conn Creek Winery\, providing a half-distance tour of the valley’s picturesque\, soul-satisfying scenery. \nWhy Runners Love It\nOften cited as a top Boston Marathon qualifier\, the Napa Valley Marathon is celebrated for its stunning “bucolic vineyard” scenery and exceptional runner support. Known as the “biggest little marathon in the West\,” it offers a prestigious experience without the overwhelming crowds of major city marathons. The race’s unique prize structure\, which includes etched double magnums and cases of local wine for top finishers\, reflects the region’s rich viticultural heritage. Its blend of high-performance potential\, breathtaking landscape\, and deep-rooted community philanthropy makes it an iconic bucket-list event for runners worldwide. \nRace Details\n\nLocation: Napa\, United States\nDistances: Marathon\, Half Marathon\, 5K\nNext Race Date: 2027-03-07\nStart Time: 07:30\n\nRace Weekend Tips\nPlan to attend the race expo at the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa on Friday or Saturday to pick up your bib\, as there is no race-day pickup. Since parking is prohibited at the marathon and half marathon start lines\, runners should use the complimentary shuttle buses departing from Vintage High School. March weather in Napa typically features cool mornings in the 40s and highs in the 60s\, so dressing in layers is recommended. Consider staying in Napa or Yountville for convenient access to the finish line and shuttles. \nHistory & Charity\nFounded in 1979\, the Napa Valley Marathon has grown into a premier destination race while maintaining its community-focused “biggest little marathon” feel. As a nonprofit organization\, the race has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local causes\, including approximately $75\,000 annually in college scholarships for Napa County high school seniors. It also partners with national organizations like the American Cancer Society\, LUNGevity\, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to facilitate dedicated charity fundraising efforts. \nRegister at the official race website.

SUMMARY:Antarctica Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The Antarctica Marathon is a bucket-list race held on King George Island\, where participants run on gravel roads connecting international research stations amidst spectacular glacial scenery. \nCourse Highlights\nThe Antarctica Marathon takes place on King George Island\, the largest of the South Shetland Islands\, situated just off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The course is a unique and challenging out-and-back route that traverses a series of hilly\, non-paved gravel roads. These paths connect the international scientific research stations of several nations\, including Artigas (Uruguay)\, Frei (Chile)\, Great Wall (China)\, and Bellingshausen (Russia). Runners are treated to breathtaking vistas of the Southern Ocean\, massive glaciers\, and floating icebergs that drift lazily through the frigid waters. The terrain is notoriously difficult and unpredictable\, often featuring thick mud\, loose stones\, and patches of ice or snow\, depending on the day’s atmospheric conditions. One of the most iconic and memorable aspects of the course is the proximity to local wildlife; it is not uncommon for runners to be cheered on by colonies of Adélie\, Chinstrap\, or Gentoo penguins as they navigate the desolate yet incredibly beautiful landscape. The elevation changes provide a significant challenge\, but the reward is a sense of scale and isolation that is impossible to find in any other marathon on the planet. \nRace Details\nOrganized by Marathon Tours & Travel since its inception in 1995\, the Antarctica Marathon is a highly regulated event designed to minimize environmental impact on the pristine Antarctic ecosystem. Due to strict environmental protocols set by IAATO and other governing bodies\, the number of participants allowed on the island at any one time is strictly limited to 100 people. This necessitates a wave start system where groups are ferried ashore in Zodiacs. The first wave typically begins around 07:00\, with subsequent waves following as earlier groups complete their runs and return to their ships. The event offers multiple distances\, including a full marathon\, half marathon\, 10K\, and even an ultra-marathon distance of 50K on specific voyages. The climate is a major factor\, with temperatures typically ranging from -5°C to 5°C (23°F to 41°F)\, often accompanied by high winds\, horizontal sleet\, or sudden snowfalls. Participants are required to carry specific emergency gear and must be prepared for a six-and-a-half-hour time limit. Logistics are handled via specialized expedition ships that serve as the base of operations\, departing from Ushuaia\, Argentina\, and crossing the legendary Drake Passage to reach the start line on the “White Continent.” \nWhy Runners Love It\nFor many athletes\, the Antarctica Marathon is the crowning achievement in their quest to join the Seven Continents Club. The exclusivity of the event—which often sells out several years in advance—adds to its allure as a premier “bucket list” challenge for adventure runners. Beyond the race itself\, the entire journey is an immersive expedition into one of the most remote and protected places on Earth. Runners share several days aboard a small expedition ship with like-minded athletes from around the world\, fostering a deep sense of camaraderie and shared purpose that lasts a lifetime. The experience is often topped off by the legendary “Polar Plunge\,” where brave souls dive into the sub-freezing Antarctic waters from the ship’s gangway after the race is over. The event also has a strong philanthropic component\, having raised over $600\,000 for Oceanites\, a non-profit organization dedicated to Antarctic conservation and scientific climate research. Completing 26.2 miles on King George Island offers a profound sense of accomplishment\, combining world-class endurance with the rare privilege of witnessing one of nature’s last great wildernesses in its most raw state. \nTo secure your spot on this once-in-a-lifetime expedition and join the prestigious ranks of those who have conquered the seventh continent\, visit the official Antarctica Marathon website to explore registration options and upcoming itineraries. \nAt a Glance\n\nLocation: King George Island\, South Shetland Islands — Antarctica\nNext Date: 2027-03-08\nDistances: [‘Marathon’\, ‘Half Marathon’\, ’10K’\, ’50K Ultra’]\nStart Time: 07:00\n\nRegister & Learn More\nVisit the official race website for entry details\, course maps\, and registration: https://marathontours.com/en-us/events/antarctica-marathon/

Kell’s Irish Restaurant and Pub sponsors the legendary after-party\, giving finishers a warm place to celebrate. With five distances\, families and competitive runners alike find their perfect challenge\, and the race sells out annually\, so early registration is essential. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nPlan for busy parking and consider MAX light rail to the start.

SUMMARY:Marathon des Sables Legendary
DESCRIPTION:The Marathon des Sables Legendary is an iconic 250km self-sufficiency race across the Sahara Desert in Morocco\, completed over six stages. \nCourse Highlights\nThe Marathon des Sables Legendary takes runners through the heart of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. The course is a breathtaking and legendary crossing of the desert\, featuring approximately 250 kilometers divided into six distinct stages. Participants traverse vast sand dunes\, rocky plateaus (hamadas)\, dried-up riverbeds (oueds)\, and lush palm groves. One of the most iconic sections is the “long stage\,” which spans roughly 80 to 90 kilometers and requires runners to navigate through the night. The route is meticulously kept secret until the day of arrival\, when participants receive their road book\, adding an element of mystery and mental challenge to the physical ordeal. \nRace Details\nThe 41st edition of the Marathon des Sables Legendary is scheduled for April 2 to April 12\, 2027. The event is a self-sufficiency race\, meaning participants must carry all their own equipment\, food\, and sleeping gear for the duration of the 11-day program\, including 9 days spent in the desert. The organization provides only water and open-sided Berber tents (bivouacs) for nightly accommodation. Stages typically start between 08:30 and 09:30\, with time cut-offs set at a minimum pace of 3.5 km/h to accommodate both runners and walkers. The race includes technical and medical checks on the second day\, followed by the competitive stages and a final un-timed charity stage. \nWhy Runners Love It\nFounded in 1986 by Patrick Bauer\, the Marathon des Sables is widely regarded as “the toughest footrace on Earth.” Runners are drawn to the race for its profound physical and mental challenge\, the opportunity for total disconnection\, and the unique camaraderie found in the shared hardship of the bivouacs. Since its inception\, more than 30\,000 people have joined the “Legend.” The event also has a strong charitable component through the MDS Solidarité association\, which supports local communities in Morocco by providing education\, sports\, and healthcare initiatives. The sense of accomplishment at the finish line\, coupled with the stark beauty of the Saharan landscape\, makes it a bucket-list adventure for ultra-endurance athletes worldwide. \nAt a Glance\n\nLocation: Sahara Desert\, Drâa-Tafilalet — Morocco\nNext Date: 2027-04-02\nDistances: 250 km (approx. 156 miles) over 6 stages\nStart Time: 08:30\n\nRegister & Learn More\nVisit the official race website for entry details\, course maps\, and registration: https://marathondessables.com/en
