Official date and race-specific planning

The organizer lists August 12–15, 2027 for the Quadrathon. Warrior is four separate marathons across four days; Quest is the half-marathon alternative.

This is a multi-day event rather than one continuous marathon. Assess your ability to recover between stages, and check what your entry includes before assuming every stage or transfer is covered.

The listed registration deadline is August 1 unless places sell out earlier, and shuttle transport is an additional option. Confirm stage starts, collection and booked transfers in the final participant communication.
