Why Virginia Beach?

  • It’s the perfect size! 2,500 finishers in the full & 6,000 in the half in 2009.
  • It’s in March so we are practically guaranteed cool weather.
  • Competitive Fun!  Walkers and Runners cover the same course but are in different categories so walkers have an equal opportunity to compete and place.
  • Team Element.  You can participate individually as well as be part of a 3-person team.
  • The course is flat, fast and a certified Boston Qualifier.
  • Walk or Run along the ocean!
  • Optional 5 miler and Children’s Marathon for those 6 months to 3 years of age (26.2 yards) offered on Saturday. 
  • Half Marathoners start 1 hour before the full so there is a faster start and our half marathon walkers can try to beat our full marathon runners!
  • It’s a totally green marathon!  For example, goody bags are reusable cloth bags.
  • Live music, free Yuengling and Murphy’s Irish Pub Stew at the finish.
  • A truly unforgettable St. Patrick's Day!!!
