Mad Marathon

Take part in the Tenth Annual Mad Marathon, Mad Half and relays on September 12th, 2021 in the stunning Mad River Valley of Central Vermont. Deserving of its title as one of Runners World's Top Ten Bucket List World-Wide Marathons in 2018, 2019 and 2020, the marathon course is US Track & Field certified and sanctioned, with its certification number being VT11012RF and thus qualifying it as a Boston Marathon qualifier. As you run the course, you will be surrounded by the majestic Green Mountains, rolling farmlands with their challenging climbs and descents, quaint villages, historic barns, covered bridges and the famous Vermont cows. The Mad River Valley also provides a variety of outdoor activities such as golf, biking, kayaking, canoeing and fly fishing during the summer. No matter your skill level, whether you want to take it easy or take it tough, there is a race for every runner! Walkers are also more than welcome for the Mad Half, with the added category of Mad Half Walkers. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support for this "World's Most Beautiful Marathon"!
