Marathon races in United States of America

This country hub lists marathon events in United States of America with athlete-first guides. Each event page includes sources, a last-verified timestamp, and a simple way to plan your training without decision fatigue.

If you’re still deciding, start at the world directory: Marathon races (directory).

How to use this hub

  • Shortlist 2–3 races by date and location.
  • Open the event guide and confirm time-sensitive details on the official site (start time, expo/bib pickup, corrals, cutoffs).
  • Pick a plan length you can repeat (16–24 weeks is common), then train backward from race day.

Quick tools

Training guardrails

  • Keep easy runs truly easy so workouts stay high quality.
  • Progress one variable at a time (volume first, then intensity).
  • Use cutback weeks every 3–4 weeks to absorb training.
  • If pain changes your gait, scale back and get assessed.

Treat this page as a decision checklist:

  1. Confirm the race date and official logistics.
  2. Choose a realistic training plan length (16–24 weeks is common).
  3. Practice fueling and pacing in long runs.

Decision support

How to choose a race

Build your race stack

Pick the race, then lock the training plan

The directory gets you to the right event. The next step is making your plan, pacing, and race-week decisions obvious before registration stress takes over.

All-in-one workflow

If you want one app instead of a race stack, 26weeks.ai is built to carry the plan from signup to race week

Use the race directory to choose the event, then move into a plan that adapts to Apple Health history, real schedule constraints, missed sessions, and the pacing or fueling numbers you need before race week.

  • Choose a realistic plan length instead of guessing between too-short and too-aggressive builds.
  • Keep pace, fueling, and race-time math in the same workflow as the plan.
  • Use coach chat, background activity feedback, and plan updates instead of stitching together separate tools.
  • Arrive at race week with one system for checklists, pacing, and execution decisions.

Best fit: iPhone runners who want verified race research plus Apple Health-connected training in one workflow.

Next step

26weeks.ai shows the full plan before subscription, then unlocks coach chat, background activity feedback, and plan updates in the same coaching flow.

FAQs

Why doesn’t this directory have tons of filters?

Because the fastest way to pick a race is usually a short, curated list — not a maze of filters. Open an event guide to see the details that change training and race-week decisions.

Where do the facts come from?

We store sources for each event and show a last-verified timestamp. If we can’t verify a time-sensitive fact, we mark it as unknown.

How should I pick a race date?

Choose a date you can realistically build toward, then train backward with a plan length that matches your base and recovery.
