The Shamrock Marathon is a flat, fast USATF-certified Boston qualifier held in Virginia Beach on March 21, 2027. The course is a coastal out-and-back starting near 42nd Street and Atlantic Avenue, running north on Shore Drive past First Landing State Park and through Fort Story, then finishing on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. It has minimal elevation gain and a 7.5-hour time limit.

Why attend here

In early spring, Virginia Beach’s oceanfront is crisp and quiet, offering a scenic run past the Cape Henry lighthouse and through First Landing State Park before finishing on the boardwalk. Afterward, warm up with fresh seafood at a local spot along Shore Drive, or stroll the empty beach and take in the Atlantic views.
