CANCELLED
We've been working closely with city officials to monitor the weather, and the decision has been made to cancel or postpone the Carmel Marathon Weekend. We will not run today.
Please seek shelter and do not come to the start / finish venue.
The radar shows heavy thunderstorms between 7:40 - 8:20 a.m., and then another round of strong storms at around 10:00 a.m., with the potential for more later in the day.
The safety of our runners, volunteers, community partners and staff is our top priority. We can not risk having runners and volunteers out on course during either of those time periods, with no way to ensure that everyone can safely seek shelter if the need arises.
We are exploring all options, including a rescheduled event, and will share more information as soon as we are able.
Please be safe and stay tuned for more information.

"I've run a ton of marathons. I kept thinking how well-designed the course was to optimize the speed for runners. Really, really great course."
"This was my first time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful course, great atmosphere, and all around great day!"
"This was my first time in Carmel and running this race. I was absolutely blown away by this event. It was my 17th marathon, so it’s safe to say I do have higher expectations / a lot to compare it to. Everything ran so smoothly. The ENTIRE event was extremely well organized. I am so grateful I got to be a part of it. Thank you, thank you! I will absolutely be recommending this race and hope to return in the future!"
