Common Questions About Running a March Marathon

Is March a good month for a Marathon?

March sits in the middle of the year for the Marathon, carrying 25 against 97 in October and 10 in September. Enough to choose from, and easier to get into than the races at the peak of the season.

When in March are most Marathon races held?

The busiest weekend is March 6 and March 7, with 11 Marathon races on those two days, and the single busiest day is Saturday, March 6 with 9. Another 1 fall on a weekday, which is worth knowing if you are traveling for one.

When should I sign up for a March Marathon?

As early as you can. 16 of these March Marathon races already have a price increase on the calendar, and 23 are open for entry right now. Another 2 have published an opening date and have not opened yet.

How much does a March Marathon cost to enter?

The typical entry is $40, with paid entries running from $10 up to $105. Entry fees climb as race day gets closer, so the same race is usually cheapest the week it opens.

What is a good Marathon time?

Across the 19 of these March Marathon races with published results from past editions, the median finisher ran 4:32:19, and the median winning time was 2:52:02. So anything under 4:32:19 puts you in the faster half of a typical field. That is the middle of these RunSignup fields, walkers and charity entrants included, not a national average.

How big is a typical March Marathon field?

The median one finished 104 runners, across the 19 of these March Marathon races with published results from past editions. Most are far smaller than the big-city events people picture, which means less crowding at the start and a friendlier field, with a last recorded finisher at 6:53:37.

Which states have the most March Marathon races?

Texas has 5, Georgia has 3, Arkansas has 2, California has 2, Iowa has 2. If you are willing to travel, those are the states where a March weekend gives you the most to choose from.

Are there trail Marathon races in March?

Yes, 3 races around the United States get you off the pavement: 3 are trail races. Surfaces are not always published, so it is worth checking a specific race before you register.
