Boston or Bust Marathon and Half Marathon
The Boston or Bust event on 09/12/2027 offers certified marathon and half marathon courses in South Huntsville, Alabama. The course runs along Aldridge Creek and the Tennessee River and is entirely on the local greenway, with start and finish at Ditto Landing Marina (293 Ditto Landing Rd SE, Huntsville, AL 35803).
Both the marathon and half marathon are USATF certified, certification code AL22025JE, and the event uses chip timing. Aid stations provide water, Gatorade, and GU energy gels. Post-race food is available for all finishers at the Ditto Landing Marina Pavilion. The guaranteed t-shirt deadline is one month before the race date; organizers will attempt to provide shirts to all entrants even if after the deadline.
Registration opens 09/15/2026 and closes 01/04/2027. Fees listed by the organizer are $65.00 for the marathon and $50.00 for the half marathon.
The organizer states this date commonly falls within the final window to qualify for the following April Boston race and notes it is one of the later qualifying opportunities in the South. Cutoff times and pacing requirements are set for each distance and are enforced to ensure completion within event limits.
