MV Spring Classic Marathon and Half Marathon

Come join us on the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard for a stunning full and half marathon. Both races promise gorgeous ocean views, the natural beauty of the center of the island, and all the charm the island has to offer. Both courses are flat and fast, with a couple rolling hills on the marathon course. The finish line for both races is in Oak Bluffs, at Waban Park. 

In order to host a safe and enjoyable event in a fragile environment, this race will be capped at 500 runners total. As a USATF sanctioned event, all participants must be at least 16 years of age. 

The marathon will start at 8:00 am Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School. The Half Marathon will start at 8:15 am from the same location. Both courses are USATF certified (MA 16036JK, MA 16037JK) and the marathon is a Boston Marathon Qualifier.  

There will be two opportunities to pick up your race bib and shirt. Saturday, April 25, bib pick-up will take place at Lululemon in Edgartown from 3:00-6:00pm. On race day, you can get your bib and shirt at the MV High School from 6:00 am to 7:30 am. For those traveling over in the morning, you will need to take the 6:00 am ferry. Bibs will not be mailed. 

Like its sister race, The MV Winter Classic 20 Miler and Amity Relay, all proceeds from this race go back into our community's youth groups. The youth organizations & sports teams on the Island, who collaborate for this event, receive a share of the event proceeds. You will see the kids along the course manning aid stations and cheering runners on.

**No dogs or strollers are permitted on the course**
