Mathews Marathon & Half Marathon

The Mathews Marathon & Half Marathon is celebrated for its flat and fast race course, making it one of the most accessible running events in Virginia. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Mathews County, participants can enjoy a scenic route that includes dirt, gravel, and paved roads, as well as views of local beaches. The event features both full and half marathon options, with a relay team option available.

All participants receive a custom plaid shirt and finisher medal, and there is a pre-race carbo load dinner. The event supports local community initiatives, with proceeds benefiting the Mathews Outdoor Club. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
