2020 MAD MARATHON AND MAD HALF VIRTUAL RACES
Because of the deferral of the 2020 Mad Marathon to July 11, 2021 we have decided to offer three options for a virtual event this year.
- A virtual Mad Marathon whereby the participant completes a 26.2 mile marathon and submits their time and distance to the Mad Marathon for inclusion in the results.
- A virtual Half Marathon whereby the participant completes a 13.1 mile half marathon and submits their time and distance to the Mad Marathon for inclusion in the Mad Half results. This will include walkers
- A three hour Mad Marathon video course challenge. We will provide access to a video of the actual Mad Marathon course played over three hours and the challenge is to run as far as you can and submit your recorded distance for inclusion in the results.
Virtual Mad Marathon. The participant can complete a 26.2 mile marathon over a course of their choosing during the marathon week of July 12 through 18, 2020. The run can be completed on a treadmill. The participant must have the ability to record the distance and time for their run using a recognized GPS device such as those sold by Garmin, Fitbit, Suunto, TomTom and more. Participants are encouraged to run with others but maintain social distancing. Remember to carry fluids or pre-position drinks around your course. Once completed your result must be submitted to the Mad Marathon. All those who complete the run will receive a medal. Registration can be found by Clicking Here

Mad Marathon Three Hour Challenge. It used to be that marathon runners would love to break the three hour barrier. We know that this is not possible for everyone but we would like to give every participant a three hour running experience. The Mad Marathon course has been filmed and edited into a three hour running experience which can be viewed on various streaming platforms. To add to the experience we will provide pre and post event activities, on course messages and comments by past runners. Each participant can watch the video on their personal device while running on a treadmill. The participant must have the ability to record the distance traveled during the three hour video and submit the result to the Mad Marathon. Prizes will be awarded and all will receive a finishers medal. Registration can be found by Clicking Here
If you would like to run the course on a treadmill, we have the course on a RunBetterApp. Contact us for more details if this is your choice of virtual.
