Mad Marathon

Join the exhilarating Mad Marathon, Mad Half, and relays held in the stunning Mad River Valley of Central Vermont. This event, recognized by Runners World as a Top Ten Bucket List World-Wide Marathon, features a US Track & Field certified and sanctioned course, qualifying it as a Boston Marathon qualifier. Athletes will experience the breathtaking scenery of the majestic Green Mountains, tackle the challenging climbs and descents through rolling farmlands, and pass by quaint villages, historic barns, covered bridges, and the iconic Vermont cows.
Beyond the marathon, the Mad River Valley offers a plethora of outdoor activities like golf, biking, kayaking, canoeing, and fly fishing. Walkers are also invited to participate in the Mad Half, with a dedicated Mad Half Walkers category.
