Modesto Marathon - March 22, 2026

The Modesto Marathon is a road race event held in Modesto, California, with a start location near M Street and 11th Street. The event on March 22, 2026 includes multiple distance options and offers in-person, assisted, and virtual formats.

The organizer describes the course as flat and fast and notes the route is a short drive from San Francisco and Sacramento. The full marathon is USATF sanctioned, and the event is noted among races likely to yield Boston Marathon qualifying times.

Race weekend features include packet pickup, a finish line festival, and a dedicated pace team with leaders for goal times. The event also uses a Grafitti Classic Car theme with cars and entertainment noted for the 2026 edition.

Proceeds benefit the Teens Run Modesto program. That program supports area youth with a structured training program focused on goal-setting, character development, adult mentoring, and improved physical fitness, culminating in participation in the Modesto Marathon.
