Race Information

Although it's called the Boring Marathon, you won't get bored while participating in this event. The Boring Marathon, Half-Boring Half-Marathon, Constantly Boring 8k and Virtually Boring Virtual Marathon take place in Boring, OR, with spectacular views of Mt. Hood and goat sightings, among other things. 

Each year is slightly different; check the official website for route options and registration fees. 

Participants receive medals and beer glasses. 

If you're planning your fall runs, this marathon takes place a few weeks after Head to Coast and a few weeks before the Portland Marathon. It's a good opportunity to train for the Portland Marathon.
