40th Brookings Marathons

What if a marathon included all of your favorite running routes...

That bridge over a creek, a path through the arboretum, the historic district complete with beautifully restored turn-of-the-century homes?

And what if friends and neighbors helped out with the race until there were more volunteers than runners?

And what if the whole marathon took place within a small community—so your family could easily move about and cheer for you?

The miles would melt away, and you'd be at the Brookings Marathon.

Experience small town hospitality at its best...
as we make your weekend as enjoyable and relaxing as possible—a scenic and varied flat course sheltered from wind, shuttle buses, showers, massages, entertainment, post race food. It's all here, without the crowds.

But don't take our word for it...
