The Hudson Valley Marathon, scheduled for May 3, 2026, invites runners of all levels to take part in one of five distances: a 1 mile fun run, a 5 K (3.1 miles), a 10 K (6.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a marathon (26.2 miles). The event offers a welcoming atmosphere for beginners in the 1-mile and 5 K distances, while the 10 K serves as a great step up for intermediate runners, and the half-marathon and marathon distances present certified courses and the marathon acts as a qualifier for Boston Marathon entrants. With its picturesque route through the valley, the event blends challenge and scenery, making it an attractive choice whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a fun day of running.
