About the Marathon
StrideForward is more than a marathon. It is a movement that began in 2012 with 400 runners and a single charity partner — and grew into one of the region's biggest fundraising race weekends.
Every year we bring together 12,000+ runners, 200+ volunteers, 23 partner charities and dozens of sponsors who believe running can change lives.
Race Categories
Four distances, one mission — there is a lane with your name on it.
