The Boring Marathon

11/10/2025

The Boring Marathon is about to launch its own rocket into space, and by space, we mean next year's race. But don't you worry, we have done a lot of testing and we have been told our rocket won't blow up on launch.

We are ready to kick off registration for 2026 in the coming days. After selling out in 2025, we have secured more local parking, which means our race numbers will increase, so more of you can come and race!

We have also secured some amazing new local sponsors for our shirts, food, and after-race fun in the park. Something huge is coming very soon in terms of our medals. So get your running shoes ready, start planning your training, pack your oxygen tank, and get ready to blast off for another Boring Run!

Mark your calendar: Sunday, September 13, 2026

Super grateful for all the Boring Runners. Today we mailed a record 5 bags (131 pairs) of shoes to

These will be cleaned up and made ready to send to developing nations around the world to help spread the love of running to others. Thank you for support in this endeavor!

The 2025 Boring Marathon Races are in the books!

A record number of runners showed up, which means a record amount will be donated to our local middle school and high school running programs!

From the first finisher, to the last, it was an amazing event. The volunteers came early, weathered the rain alongside you all, and then stuck around to see Daisy cross the finish line, completing her first ever marathon, with her daughters joining her over the last mile. This is just one of the amazing moments from the 2025 event.

This event we put on is amazing and reminds us that the dedication we put in to try and provide a fun race is always returned to us by the smiles, laughs, and joy of seeing of seeing you all cross that finish line.

We will launch our 2026 registration in a few weeks and we hope you’ll join us again next September for the 13th annual race.

We are so excited to partner with this year. A wonderful local coffee shop that has a great atmosphere, sells cool local goodies, and the best coffee and food. They will be open on race, and just a 10 minute drive from the race finish, so go give them a visit and thank them for supporting our race!

The 2025 Boring Marathon race series logo!

This year our logo was designed by an 8th grade student from Gordon Russell Middle School. The student submissions this year were amazing. Thank you to all the kids who participated. We will launch the 2026 logo contest in November.

Running a marathon in the snow?

Sign up now—because nothing’s cooler than crossing that finish line in September!

OUR RACE IS BACK!

Registration opens tomorrow, January 6th, for the 2025 event! The 2025 races will take place on Sunday, September 14th in lovely Boring Oregon, and we hope that you will join us!

We have dropped the 8k race and instead are now offering 5k and 10k options, along with the Marathon and Half Marathon distances. The Marathon and Half Marathon are USATF Certified and the Marathon is again a Boston Qualifier certified course.

Please note that for the month of January we have made the early registration period worth your consideration, as the prices this month are less than at any point last year. All of the 2025 races have a hard registration cap due to limited parking at our race. Register early to lock in your spot.

It includes the following events: Boring Marathon, Half Boring Half Marathon, Constantly Boring 8K, VIRTUAL Boring Marathon, VIRTUAL Half Boring Half Mar...
