Mad Marathon

The Mad Marathon is the Worlds Most Beautiful Marathon taking place in the Mad River Valley, Vermont

The second annual Mad Marathon and Mad Half are scheduled for July 8, 2012 in the gorgeous Mad River Valley, located in Central Vermont.

You will be running through this extraordinary rural community on back and dirt roads, with breathtaking views of the Green Mountains, challenging rolling
farmlands with tough climbs and descents, quaint villages, historical barns, covered bridges and fields of our famous Vermont cows!
Vermont is well-known for its brilliant fall foliage. However, The Mad River Valley
is the winter home of Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas, and the
summer offers a host of sport opportunities in golf, biking, kayaking,
canoeing, fly fishing and of course, running in a pristine natural setting.
Summers are gorgeous, cool and breezy with average highs in the
mid-seventies to mid-eighties. Life in Vermont during the
summer months is slow, relaxing with a healthy lifestyle that
supports a family community with a passion for sport.
Vermont is also celebrated for its Country Inns and B&Bs and the
Mad River Valley is known for not having any fast food restaurants
or chain hotels. Your choice of accommodations for the Mad Marathon
will also include private homes or town houses and a variety of gourmet restaurants.

The marathon course is certified and sanctioned by the US Track & Field. Our certification
number is VT11012RF. Walkers are more than welcome for the Mad Half and there is
a new category for Mad Half Walkers..

Thank you all for your amazing support of this exciting "World's Most Beautiful Marathon".
